Important Birds to be destroyed Please help

[tiger2]

I found this ad on Birds and Ways, does anyone live near this person. There is always another way to find a home for your birds but this is just mean.

Sounds to me like BS. This individual is just trying to get top dollar for his/her birds using people's sympathy.

I'm in PA which is a few hour drive from WV, but I don't have the money for them. It's a real shame that people would rather destroy their pets than give them up for adoption or go to a non-profit organization.

Sounds like a sympathy ploy to me as well. We got a call last year to come and get Pickles or she would be PTS. Claimed she was unhandleable ect. Granted we didn't have to buy her, but a lot of people out there use that kind of tactic to sucker people in.

I e-mailed this person, so I will wait and see if they respond.

E mail them in a week and they will probably still have them & tell you the same sob story that they will be destroyed the following week.
If this is not a hoax then may they burn in hell.

I also sent an email, here it is....

If you do not get what you want for your parrots you will kill them?
There are other options if you choose. there are many people out there that would be more than willing to give them wonderful loving homes. Contact your local bird club.
This will cost you nothing.....and they will have good homes.

As most people who read your post ....we are hoping this is nothing more than a horrible joke.

Birds n ways has a complete site for bird clubs to contact. ALL of them would be more than happy to help you.

I got a reply from her stating that these are not her birds, that she is following the wishes of the estate, and that if she could she would keep them herself but she has 14 grays of her own. Gimme a break!

I emailed her as well and will make a call to the WV SPCA. There has to be a law against this. I hope all works out for the well being of the birds.

I used to be a Moderator on Birdsnways and one thing we had a lot of were "Trolls" people who would come in, state something like that just to stir up panic in the groups and think it was funny. Now I'm not saying this is the case with that post, but it's something you have to keep in the back of your mind. Some ignorant people have nothing better to do than stir up a bunch of animal lovers, and then laugh about it. I would HOPE that was the case here...but there is no way to tell. Then again, some people are simply that, ignorant.

I really hope the birds won't be "destroyed." That would just be plain mean!
