Subject: [the rescue report] New comment on The Pet Bird Crisis is So
Bad....

Bad... http://www.rescuereport.org/2010/07/pet-bird-crisis-is-so-bad.html":
Well, you rescuers just don't get it. You are being inundated with birds
because you advertise that you will take in birds! DUH... what did you
expect? When you took over the rescue biz, that is what happened. You wanted
that role and you have it. All those birds that used to go to vets, bird
breeders and clubs for re-homing are now going YOUR way.
And, as far as patting yourselves on the back, don't strain your arm. I
personally know of more than one rescue operation that operates for
MONEY...they won't take in any birds that aren't perfect and able to be
easily "sold" for a nice profit. And, I know of other rescue operations that
have sought out "showy" birds so they can call on more donations...in fact
one guy went so far as to STEAL a Blue and Gold and a Hyacinth for his
rescue...but with a call to the police, he was "persuaded" to return those
two birds! This kind of behavior does not look good!
As far as Mickaboo's veterinary expenses...I have to laugh. I guess you all
don't have much of a clue as to how to work with a vet and as to what tests
are needed and what veterinary medical practices are not needed. That is why
you have such astronomical vet bills...helping some vets make a living I
guess! A vet can indicate xx number of tests are needed...but they may not
be needed. You need a little more knowledge about birds and vets.
While you are at it, tell me how you see a connection between pet store
sales and birds needing re-homing? I challenge you to make a record of WHERE
the birds originated that you are being asked to re-home. You will likely
find that these birds came from many sources. That is reality.
