There was a guy that was breeding lovebirds near me..but he'd breed brother/sister basically inbreeding and he'd get deformed birds... this one had one leg in right position and one that pointed up in the air.. so he could hang from a perch and swing but it couldn't stand up.. he was going to flush it.. I told him he'd be next and took the bird.. I fed it every two hours with a syringe... some friend of his had killed a bird when he saw its crop(pouch in throat to hold food).. he though it was deformed.. kind of a bird mill with retards as breeders..
anyway I built a cage with things for him too move around with and carpeted the bottom as he was on his belly all the time.... It lived for 7 years....

thats cool. if the breeder isn't any smarter than what they are breeding, they should be arrested. a much worse crime than breeding weed:peace:

stuff them in a pen or cage and let them suffer that is 1 thing that pisses me off, i have a puppy mill around the corner.:finger: 10-15 min pins and pugs crammed in a small pin all day and 1/2 the night.

cool story twist, i am sure he was grateful for your loving care. i hate those animal mills with a passion and the petshops that sell 1000 dollar puppies that come straight from those places.:finger:

It's not just the mills and the stores that sell them. People neglect their animals too. I have been volunteering at a parrot rescue/santuary for the past 5 years and you would be shocked at the condition of some of the birds we get. We have a cockatoo right now that has no feathers except what's on her head. She ran out of feathers to pluck, so she chewed a hole in her chest the size of a silver dollar.

A few months ago, an African Grey that had an infection that was not treated for so long that the foot had to be amputated. I have dozens of stories like that.

not too bad, busting my ass all day with a bunch of old hungover grumpy dudes lol :wall:. we do smoke a bowl sometimes at work which is cool. i remember sunny posting about that incident. bout as grateful as my 9 year old cat who layed on my lap the other night and let me pet him, then he bit me haha. he has never liked to be petted much but even the damn dog has learned not to bite the hand that feeds him:bigjoint::fire:.

Funny you mention that, my job requires me to take a fair share of plant and animal lives. I do it mostly because there were no lobsters at the Geneva convention, but I digress... anyway, it never really bothers me. I had a male plant recently (possibly the healthiest and most virile pot plant I have seen in my venerable tenure as plant manager) and it took me a good half hour to build up the courage to hew its stalk. I always wondered if it was a sign of strength or weakness.
