aww, that's just not right. i was hoping someone would come forward. i know how that feels. i've have several puppies stolen from us when we showed dogs. it sucked coming home to find some dirtbag stolen something out of my yard.
Whoever stole it will probably use it for breeding and not show it. Whoever took it is being really smart about it, as you haven't seen hide or hair of that bird.
i knowit may not have been perfect but it didn't belong to whoever took it.
i find it rather ironic people will steal things that cost under a dollar at work and risk going to jail. why not just work for an honest living? or hey, ask the owner about buying the bird? i don't want to be at the pearly gates knowing i may go to hell for a chicken, but go figure?!
