    Not all rescues are hoarders or out for money either. I have adopted
    out 30+ birds and never asked for an adoption fee, only that they buy
    a cage as most never even come in with one. We pay our own vet bills
    and are more interested in the birds welfare than money!

    Some birds land in a rescue simply due to thier home life changing,
    not always for problems with the birds. I agree that not everyone is
    able to care for a cockatoo or a recue bird with issues. However
    telling someone to at least check out both options doesn't hurt
    either. I know of quite a few cockatoos in rescues that are
    perfectly "normal" cockatoos, if there is such a thing as normal LOL!
