No updates yet this morning.
The statistics say that 35% of birds sold a year will need a rescue. Only room for 1% of them. Makes you wonder what happens to the other 34%.
Why do people impulse buy animals? When I had a pet store I actually refused sales to some people. I had a couple come in to buy a bird. Her statement was"Lets buy a parrakeet, they're cheap. " If it dies we won't be out of that much money". they had recently lost a newly purchased conure from something unknown. Started explaining about how you have to change things in your home because of their sensitiviy to chemicals and such. Turns out that she is an avid candle burner. She decided that she didn't want an animal that she'd have to change her life for.
I haven't burnt a candle in 13 years,my teflon pans were thrown out the day I brought home my first parrot. I use no airsols or strong smelling cleaners in my house. Heck,I ruined a self cleaning oven with cleaners and SOS pads because I couldn't run it because of teflon coating.
My sons call them siblings,they are my children.
