Yesterday I stopped by a nearby pet store and saw a cockatiel in a cage. The bird obviously was sick. As I approched the room it was in (alone), I could clearly see it shaking from 3 feet away. I touched the cage and it squawked at me so painfully hoarse that I felt sorry for it. Every time I touched the cage to offer some comfort it squawked so I stopped and mentioned it to the clerk. Apparently, the shop clerks allowed people to approach the bird to the point that its' squawking was reduced to a hoarse whisper. My heart went out to it. It was being sold for $69. Now, I know nothing about cockatiels or parrots but I can reconize a sick bird and behavior problems when I see them. I have been thinking hard all weekend about going back there and rescuing it. What should I do? Any suggestions? I could really use some feedback. Tanya IP: Logged |

I just read your story. I hope you went back and bought the bird. I encountered the same thing, and I immediately bought the bird. He can't fly and only has half a beak, but he is the best singer of all my tiels. When he tries to fly, I pick him up and put him back on top of his cage. I know he is happy, and I love him. I wish I could help him fly. I think he was born this way. By the way, his name is Eagle. IP: Logged |

Maybe complain to the manager, not just the salesclerk.If there is an owner of the shop around, even better, you could call animal control & ask advice. Good Luck IP: Logged |

I am happy to say that I went back to the pet store two days after I saw the sick bird and it was already sold to someone as concerned as I was. IP: Logged |
