bird snatcher

This happened the other day in the town I live in...after reading the lost parrot post I thought I would post this story...

...the news has been reminding anyone with exotic pets to be on the lookout because the holiday season is a big time for pet thefts.

ARrrrggghhh.....it seems to be a Parrot stealing nightmare picking up.

 

It almost makes me wonder if that story of the shop in NY that was broken into a few months back didn't give thieves a NEW hot high priced object to steal and re-sell.

 

I hope they did get a BIG BITE from the Breeder with an attitude :angry:<br><br>Post edited by: danmcq, at: 2007/11/30 13:35

The holiday season is a big time for any kind of thieves but yes bird thieves also and those are some of the worst kind, I hope those birds do take a chunk out of the culprits, would serve them right.

Do you think it sounds like the thieves know at least a little about birds? Any idiot would know they need food, but these guys also stole toys and treats. I agree they should be strung up for doing this, and I'm happy to think the breeder bird took his revenge out of somebody's flesh, but I'm also slightly relieved to think the thieves know how to (and want to) keep the birds healthy and happy.

Good post and a timely reminder BMustee! I do hope the breeder took a nice chunck out of the bad guys! Serves 'em right.

Shame, shame, shame

 

About 6 mts ago in NY, There is a very well known pet shop in Manhattan that was robbed of about $30,000 worth of parrots. All species of parrots.

It made TV and newspapers. Supposedly, different actors also shop there and have purchased very expensive birds and cages and accessories.

at our local pet store they had a cockatoo (umbrella I think) stolen right under their noses...seems they had a young pair that were very friendly to say the least and someone put one under their coat and just walked out of the store! It was during the holidays last year.
