Shocked at terribly abused 2 budgies and 1 cockatoo

advertised for sale in the bird section on the auction site that I rescued my budgie Lucki off. When I clicked on the link that said they were for sale all together it said they were kept in a dark cupboard and hadn't been out for many years. I was feeling distressed by this, and tried to peer at the tiny picture supplied of the three of them - but couldn't make them out very well... so I clicked on it to enlarge it and they were ornaments!

The annoying thing was, the ornaments were listed among the live birds rather than in an actual ornament section, so I was kind of taken in for a minute until I looked at the zoomed in picture!
