OK... is this plucking?? Or molting as the owner claims...
Here's my problem. I saw this ad on CL yesterday and saw the pic and immediately thought plucking. Well last night before we left to pick up Rudy, I got an email reply from an ad I had on CL looking for bird cages offering me a cage with toys in it if we would find the tiel a home or keep it. So we said sure we can take it and when we called her an hour later, she said she had just talked to a 10 year old boy and if he didn't come on Sunday to get the bird she'd let us know and ask us to come back up to get the bird.
So we just let it go... I figured it was just someone else wasting my time. Well then I was sitting here this am (when the lady spoke to my hubby she said she had the bird listed on CL) and went back to see if I could find the bird and it was the same one!! She's selling this plucked bird (if it's really molt than forgive me but I don't think it is) for $100 to a 10 year old boy and how is he going to deal with the issues that made her pluck in the first place??
I just don't get it...
