bran Posted August 7, 2011 Author Share Posted August 7, 2011 This is another hoarding situation from Portland, TN.... What is going on with people....

Shelly Yokum Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 The video's were so sad, but thankfully, someone found them before they all died. This is upsetting to me. Sorry, I didn't read all the blog, but I will. Just I have to get in the bed, can barely hold my eyes open. It has been a rough weekend for me. How can people do this to the babies? I just don't understand. The dirty water, drives me nuts in my cages, and some days, seems all I can get done is clean the water dishes, but I could never imagine what I just saw. No wonder these poor things were in bad health. I am glad you shared that but kind of wish you hadn't. If that makes any since. I am going to donate as well. These precious babies need our love and support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbara2 Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 The worst part is that the man had moved out of the house. It was condemned and he had to move out due to health reasons anyway. But he kept buying birds and releasing them into the house. About 30 of the birds that they found were already dead. Absolutely horrible story!

Barbara2 Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 I got an update from my bird's breeder: "The club(Angel Wings) dropped off toys, a few perches, zupreem (new flavors..nut and veggie) and paid 100.00 to the vet. The Bird Shop donated 40 lbs of seed, lg bags of zupreem along with some toys. They were dropped off this morning!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bran Posted August 9, 2011 Author Share Posted August 9, 2011 Barbara2... that is so awesome! I love how the bird loving community is coming together in unison to help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave007 Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 They're good people--glad it happened. If you want, tell that bird club that if they go to an animal feeds business, they can get 50lb bags of decent parrot mix for about $25. A place like that sells food for all sorts of animals----horses, cows, goats, sheep, alpacas, parrots of all sizes, reptiles, rodents. I'm sure those birds won't mind it not being Zupreem.

Eshana Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Seeing things like this makes me feel so guilty that I want to get my Grey from a breeder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbara2 Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 I received an update to this story: Miami Valley Bird Club & Rescue is happy to report that a resolution has been reached in the Troy bird hoarding case. We were not directly involved in the negotiations with Mr. Ratcliff. Our perspective has always been that the health, safety and welfare of the birds come first. The birds were transferred to the Florida Exotic Bird Sanctuary where they will hopefully be able to have a long and happy life. The Florida Exotic Bird Sanctuary, along with many other bird groups and individuals, has supported us along the way. We wish to thank the many individuals and groups who have come forward to help resolve this case for these birds. The birds of Troy will need your continued support. We hope to continue to work for the betterment of captive exotic birds so this type of situation is avoided in the future. You can continue to support the Birds of Troy Ohio by donating to Florida Exotic Bird Sanctuary P.O. Box 7370 Wesley Chapel, Fl. 53545 http://www.flabirdsanctuary.com/index.html Debbie Huckaby - Donation/Fundraising Coordinator - 727-366-9997 Thank you for your continued support.
