Would you complain? PIC ADDED

Would you complain if you bought a $100.00 bird (Well, actually $160.00. If you want to add the shipping fee) and it had bugs really bad and I mean BAD to the point they are crawling all over you?

I bought a Lavender Silkie from a well known breeder (I won't mention names) and I didn't notice the bugs at first but when I decided to give her a bath and when she was wet she had so many bugs they were actually crawling all over me, all over the floor and the bird looked like it had changed from a Lavender color to Salt & Pepper color ( Not really but it's the way it looked because of all the dead bugs, bug feces, etc). I even took pics!

I'm so disappointed & ticked at this breeder . At least he/she could have taken the time to debug the dang bird before shipment. Do you think I should say something or do you think this just comes with the territory with buying birds?

Not only did I have a problem with the bugs. The bird was shipped overnight and the breeder didn't even put any type of water source in the shipping box, no fruit, no nothing!! and the birds nails were so long they were actually curling and had poop/mud balls formed at the end of some of them. One nail actually broke off during shipment and started bleeding.

I mean, I understand some people have a lot of birds and with winter ending and spring starting there are a lot of mud and etc and it's impossible to keep every bird clean but "come on" you can't at least debug and cut toe nails before shipment if it's that bad? After all, I only paid $100.00 for the dang bird, that's not enough investment for ya to at least take care of the bird prior to shipment. God forbid, to use up a little of your debugging spray, dust whatever you use. (If you debug your birds at all) and take not even 5 mins of your time to cut toe nails.. Sorry, had to VENT a little.

 

Here is a pic of her wet after I gave her a bath. You can see all the black looking bugs. It almost looks like a black ticking on her feathers but it's the bugs. I just frontlined her tonight and will Ivermectin her in a few weeks.
I will be contacting this Silkie breeder about this but I know he won't do anything about it. He probably won't even respond.
