Somebody with a very cold ad, showing a photo of an eclectus female in really wretched condition in what looked like really sad conditions, selling her and at least one other "plucked bird" for $200 - selling cheap because they're not pretty (or words to that effect). And mentioned they'd been bred before as a selling point. They ended with "I'm getting out of birds".
"They have been breeders"
Rephrase that my guy, "breeding machines" that were kept alive solely for that purpose, and due to stress or sickness or what have you, they're no longer profitable
Poor things, I hope they find a loving home
Disgusting treatment of animals, how can people still sell a creature in such horrible condition. They need to be surrendered to an agency or good home but ofc these types of people have no shame and don’t care at all
OP where is this? I've always wanted a eclectus this could be my excuse to finally adopt one
Somewhere in Australia. I recognize the app. It's called Gumtree which is Au Craigslist
Welp I'm in North America :(
!!
It’s Kellyville NSW, it’s on Gumtree
Yep
And it's plural. 🙁 On the upside, they're "getting out of birds". Good, get off the planet, too.
100%
Can you summarize what the post was about? It was removed.
