So, my usually poke around at the local pet shop either turned out to be a good thing or a complete waste of time today..

 

First I noticed that the cages were all disgusting. I notice this everytime I go in there and always mention it.

 

Secondly I noticed that there were up to 30 finches packed into a little cage. there were 5 cages.

 

Thirdly I noticed these two.

 

Bird 1

 

 

 

Bird 2

 

 

Not the best photo's, but you can still see how sick they are. Especially the second one. It didn't move once the whole time I was there. None of the other birds look very well either, but these two were the worst.

 

 

And the cage.

 

I asked her to move the birds away from the rest of them and she said she would. She usually does. I went to school with her so I know she isn't some heartless monster, But her boss! I swear, all he cares about is the money.

 

The cockatiels (when they have cockatiels) don't get any light! Except the little bit that comes through the front of the cage. All that needs to done done to fix it is to remove the roof of the aviary and replace it with wire. He can buy the wire from the shop next door.

 

I have been handing cover letters in at this particular shop nearly every week for the last year and he just won't hire me. Even though the days I hang around and help clean up the shop looks amazing and even the birds are happier.

 

It's not fair that the birds are suffering because he hires people that don't care about them and even worse that he doesn't care about them.

well done sunshine! you probably made a animals life so much happier.... i encourage you to continue checking how they are going
