I sure feel for you and your sweet birds.

I do NOT let anyone in my pen... There is a reception room and I meet them at their car.... hand them plastic baggies for their feet and tell them to leave their children in the car...No joke.. NO ONE and I mean NO ONE... goes into Wonka but me and my students that house birds there...Not even the students friends or parents.. I have had irrisponsible idiots let thier dogs out... One killed on of my breeder birds.... That just about does ya in.... They paid for the bird but that doesn't replace the generation for that hen... No Dogs allowed...No children allowed...Unless they come inside in the winter for chicks... and no one goes into my brooder room.. It is in the back of the house, insulated and it is just for birds... No other humans allowed.. (i know picky picky).. Yep I am a control freek... I would have grabbed the children by the ears and escorted them to the car.... that simple... So sorry... I am up in arms for you... lemme at em!!! lol... Send them to my house!!!!

Uh huh exactly. My two kids would fear me getting them home.

Speckledhen has a sign hanging on a tree at her place that says "Biosecurity Area" and a spray bottle hanging there with bleach solution to spray your shoes. I even bought new shoes, pants and such that I took to her place to wear there. I could not imagine going on someone's property and behaving like that or allowing my children too. I would have snatched a knot in their heads.


I am so sorry you and your birds went through that nonsense.

One time might be excused, especially if it were a young child; FOUR times? Not on your life. At the 2nd occurence they would have been summarily told to remove themselves from my property, and to never return. Mom not correcting her kids and demanding appropriate behavior? Huh-uh! I heartily agree that she already has more animals than she can properly rear.

Good grief I'd be SO embarrassed if one of my kids (or any kid I brought somewhere) behaved like that?!?! I would pack us up an leave, no need to be asked... what was this woman thinking?

I can guess what the kids were thinking... Target Practice, Tag, and we know mom won't do squat so WOOHOO Field Day!

But I can't wrap my head around what SHE was thinking to allow it... doesn't she realize she's responsible for them?

for her and a

for you... I'd offer a hug to your traumatized birds but I doubt if I could catch 'em.

Thats horrible! What bratty kids, I would NEVER have sold anything to them! They would have been packed in the car and sent on their merry way before they could have said sorry!
