SDavid~ So well put! Now, if we can just distribute morality.... It's not just telling these people who breed and sell birds that they must take responsibility in educating the public. The majority of pet stores (individual owners as well as the larger chains) don't care where their birds end up and this is pitiful. The all mighty dollar is where the importance lies, especially in a disposable society such as ours where instant gratification is the reason for most purchases that are not necessities.

Not willing to end on a negative note here, I have to believe that if one person is educated and seeks to educate others, this makes all the difference in the world. If one bird is saved a life of misery and neglect, this makes all the difference.
