Whatya bet that twit has a PETA bumber sticker....
As has already been stated, that's quite a nasty thing to post to someone looking to help their FID.
It's like asking to help solve a behavioural prob in a dog, only to be told it's cruel to keep a dog on a leash.
"but he's only on leash for so long every day"

WE on this site do, and lots of people care about their birds, but just as many are stuck in someone's home as a piece of furniture/decoration and never let out. Lots of birds have cigarettes smoked right in their faces, food fed straight from people's mouths, and other 'human' problems that cause behaviour problems for them. I have 7 birds (as ONE person, in one part of the world.) that have all come from bad situations. There are 48764876 more birds in bad situations still out there.
I'd love to believe that people don't mistreat their birds, but I can't.
This person (who angrily responded to her ad) was probably someone who had a bad bird experience. Like me, they've probably seen some CRUEL things happening to a parrot.

I agree that most birds are probably in their cages all day, but knowledgeable & caring owners (like us) let them out for as long as possible. Cruelty & neglect are not private property of us bird owners.
We need to believe we are helping make a difference so that everyone who takes responsibility for a feathered life, knows what we understand to be important for the bird's physical & mental well-being.
The same argument that jerk tries to make about keeping birds in cages could be said for all those poor dogs locked up inside their owners homes all day long...only to be let out into a small fenced yard or dogrun for the rest of the evening.
Gee that's a sin because didn't the Big Dude upstairs make dogs so they could run around, peeing & crappin wherever they wanted?????
