Always amazes me and makes me wonder how people who have a good
education and in many cases believe they are more intelligent than
the "so called ordinary Joe Blow" can SEE with their own eyes one
species of bird is causing misery to another species or even within
their own species and can be SO stupid as to say "they would be SO
lonely without each other together in the same cage". One feather
yanked out of a head? bad enough but when it is seen to go further
for goodness sake give each species their own cage. Sure we all
have to learn but why are some people so SLOW when it comes to
birds? Birds need a lot of interaction anyway so surely it is Not
Rocket Science to Observe and watch what is happening and in many
cases if money is the big deal (much to my chagrin as if you have a
bird you should be able to afford the care of same bird) you can
save money by stopping harm before it becomes a tragedy. What pain
and mental anguish a bird goes through with toes being ripped off
and no way of getting away from the perpetrater.
There are some idiots I would like to rip toes off :( I mean of the
human species of course.
