Here is what he said in one of his auctions:
Please note that I am in the business of buying and selling skins and feathers. I purchase the deceased birds from people that raise the birds. They may have died from catching a draft, got to cold or warm, old age, taken by predator (cat, dog, wildlife, etc.), flying into window or fan, broken leg, bad feed, or whatever the case. I just want to let you know that I purchased the bird or ready deceased or feathers loose, gathered by the breeders. I then sort or skin the birds myself. I DO NOT put down any of the birds or pull the feathers from live birds. All the house type birds came from breeders from here in the Midwest. I do not mean to offend anybody with these bird skins. I am just trying to help people find the feathers that they would like to have for the crafts that they make. Selling items this way makes it easier for crafters to get the feathers that are hard to find in molt. I will be more then happy to answer any questions.
You are bidding on one full parakeet - bluish green and yellow in color.
tail about 4".........
Tho I do find it completely appauling.. I suppose there are some odd folks out there who actually have a need for something like this..
I suppose perhaps for taxidermy reasons or ceremonial headresses, or perhaps even to rebuild damaged science museum pieces?
We need to remember there are two sides to every coin...they just don't happen to be in MY pocket either!!
