She had a bunch of complaints filed against her apparently by people who bought from her. She didn't fledge the birds, and people were complaining just to try and change that.
When they went to her house, apparently they found dirty cages that were WAY too small for the birds and lots of nasty soup water. Some babies had died and were still in the cages with live birds, which was apparently enough to take all of her birds away from her. . . the nasty, dirty, too small cages was not enough. It should be, though.
Surprisingly, all the adult birds were "healthy" as far as disease and blood levels and things. Most (males) have feather issues, obviously, from being in too small of a cage with an aggressive mating female, a few had injured wings, some had overgrown beaks. . . .but overall, they were surprisingly healthy, if not physically fit.
They're diet was surprisingly good. Through some connections, she got Zupreem pellets for really cheap, so the animals were at least getting more than seed.
