It is okay to vent, but Kaz is right on her points made above. hugs Link to comment

Just needed to vent sorry.. Also wanted to know whats the worst that can happen to birds that are left in direct sunlight for many hours including in the hottest part of the day. Heatstroke? death? They can die..... I agree with Kaz here... I do feel for you, but unless you decide to do something, you need to TRY and turn a blind eye... you'll give your self a heart attack. Link to comment

The birds water and food does not get changed very often. i imagine the tray is full of husks. I can not hear the birds as much as i used to, i dont even know if there are still 2. last night they left their 2000 watt spotlight on all night, with bird cage right in front of it. I could see one bird shadow. the poor thing could not sleep with that ridiculous light on all night. The poor dog spends the day looking through the fence just wanting a second of attention. they dont even look at him. The RSPCA have said they will not come back unless there is evidence of malnutrition or ill health. Very difficult to judge that from where i am. Edited December 1, 2008 by Neat Link to comment

He has his one fake wood perch and some seed (or husks). He sits alone all day doing nothing. Today he has been in direct sunlight without shade and its over 40 degrees in the sun here. I can imagine they came out and saw the dead one and said 'oh well'. For the sake of this little one I do hope he passes away painlessly soon. And I hope these horrible people never ever own another animal again, shame the dog has to keep suffering. Sorry guys for my venting, it is just soooo frustrating and more than anything, sad.

I could not watch this happen, it is hard enough to read about it. I think I shall avoid this topic from now on. Edited December 3, 2008 by Trish Link to comment

Linda...there is nothing further we can do to help you here. We have given all the advice we can and nothing will change unless you can take some action that has been suggested before and put an end to this saga. Members are upset over the sheer futility of this situation, and there cannot be any more said that will change anything. In light of this and PMs we are getting about this topic, the topic is now closed. Feel free to advise if anything POSITIVE has occurred to rescue these birds. Link to comment
