When we got the 19 birds, they were suffering the effect of long term malnutrition and overcrowding. One died, one almost died.

Maybe so. Can we connect the dots of several of these & do an article about mass dumpings? (I haven't been keeping track.) - do we have intelligence on several, where we can see a pattern or specific causes? It would also seem to be an opportunity to note the legislation issue, as a comment (I don't see that as the main thrust, but we could connect it, I suspect).

We have yet another mass surrender of cockatiels (33 in Palo Alto). Is there any way we can use this madness for a little PR?
