Word is, Dana, that PJ's in Yorkdale is going out of business.....too expensive. I find that hard to believe since they've been there FOREVER!! Who knows why...I only know that there prices are crazy high.
I have rarely had problems with Petsmart, to be honest. The condition of their birds, at least the ones I have been to, have always been good, and they are in large cages with lots of toys and good food. There is a beautiful Princess of Wales parakeet, however, that has been at one store for FAR too long. That always saddens me....they look to be taking excellent care of her, at least.
From what I have garnered, I think the Petsmarts in parts of the States are quite nasty....All I can say is I haven't seen any of that here. Thank God..and I do think their adoption programme in conjuction with local rescues does enormous good.
BTW, Dana.....had to collar Lucy....it's a softie cotton collar cuz she wiggled out of everything else and she is still wiggling around in this one but I had no choice. Took her to Links who x-rayed her damaged wing and found that whatever injury she had that had gone untreated from her previous owner had been so bad that Lucy had actually chewed through a ligament and her wing was almost fused to her body. Made me want to barf...
Anyhow, despite the Avicalm and the previous attempts with PNM of which neither worked, this seemed the only chance to try and get Lucy out of her self-mutilation habit. So sad....poor little girl.
Sorry I changed the subject....
