I'm scared to think about how many people have birds in their basement (because the dog/cat/kid is jealous of the bird, or whatever) that they don't really fully take care of.
Last night I met these people, friends of my boyfriend, and they had these two cockatiels in the basement. I asked to meet them, so we went downstairs. They had no seeds, their cage was open, and I asked the lady if she fed them everyday. "You don't need to eat everyday," She cooed to the little birds.
One of the 'tiels had no tail.
I am going to go back there in a few days or a week when I get some money, and offer her $50 or so for the birds. I don't think she really likes caring for them much, and it saddens me to see them in that condition.
On the other hand, then I will have ten birds.
I hate the way this world is, how so many people don't take care of the animals they have... but instead feel they are their ''property''
