This place has cages there, so you unload the birds and get a lot number written on the cage that says who they belong to. So, once the birds are there, they are no longer kept cramped up.

It is funny now that I read about the people looking like their animals, they totally did!!! The man I noticed most with the very beat up and sick birds, had a very scruffy white/gray beard and was just stinky and dirty looking. He was kind of hunched over all the time too. Just like the beat up roosters he brought in.

At the small animal sale here they sell them in the cages,boxes,containers they come in.The poor bunnies sometimes come in just wrapped in chicken wire and can't move.I have never bought one of those,but yesterday my son wanted a bunny so we got him buff lion head.The poeple bring them in caged them well along with the little silver spangeled hamburg and black sex-link hen.
I feel bad for the beat up,sick,sorry and crammed ones.But I havent bought any in those conditions yet.Anyway ill stop rambling on....

I am sure I will go again. I just hope to go on a day that has more healthy birds then un-healthy ones. I would love to buy some, but might just stick with buying hatching eggs and day old chicks. I get anxious for them to grow up though!!
