They have to be among the worst hypocrites out there, who believe they should have their birds, but want to see aviculture ended.



Groups like the below "Avain Welfare Coalition" don't believe we should be keeping parrots -

(Amusingly, they have toned this down a little, they used to have more extreme wording on it - but it still mentions the "rights" of birds...

Along with many other parrot related sites and so called "rescues" - remember, according to them, "Supporting the pet trade through the purchase of a parrot is unconscionable"



But then they'll adopt you a bird at market value after you jump through their hoops...



I love this stuff too -

Cause, you all know there are plenty of families of African Crested Porcupines & Patagonian Cavies out there in the shelters in need of homes...You know this guy buys animals.



(Sorry, I just get so disgusted by these people)



Thank goodness for the AFA!

(They haven't become anti-breeder anti-keeper yet)
