That is a good deal. Wonder if there would be any left by Saturday?

Call and pay for it over the phone. Tell them you'll pick it up on Saturday.

OMG, That is HORRIBLE! Time to post that to a news agency and get some action! I'm sure the post office would just love to have some animal rights activists on their tail!

Not really. That's the trouble. The Post Office would like to stop carrying birds but the hatcheries have a decent lobby and haven't let them. The animal rights groups think we're cruel to mail birds in the first place and shouldn't own them (or any other animal) any way. We're left with no recourse and no other option.

There aren't many. If I understood the guy correctly, they only had three in the store and were ordering 20 more. That's it. I still doubt I can fit one in my car.

Tempting. Very, very tempting! But we're really super duper busy this weekend and I wouldn't have anyone available to help me move it and neither do I know who to call to hire someone and how much it'd cost me.

Since they're in the box, you could probably strap it down to the roof of your car! I've done things like that before... LOL If you have a convertible with a backseat, put the top down and put it there.

I've moved almost an entire household doing that with my 3rd convertible (almost as good as having a truck!

)

looks like that would require a lowboy construction type trailer (or a wrecker-type flatbed truck)

and really sturdy chains and come-alongs

or a goodsized forklift ...

NOPE yer makin it way too hard I could load that and be gone pretty fast. If I could afford the fuel I would be all over that one.

So are they exempt from the laws called cruelty to animals that would have any of the rest of us up on charges? Go to a supervisor and higher yet if need be. DO NOT LET THIS SLIDE. Sorry but that just lights me up. Sorry to hear about your birds and hope they arrive and are ok.

That's a great idea, but upon closer inspection of the picture, I see it is not panels. I think I need panels, so I can connect to my current run.
