Caring for Rescued Birds

Michael - 13 Sep 2004 23:41 GMT
On another chat that I can't post to they are talking about charging
fees to rescue animals.  Since I can't post there I post here.

Yes, it's not right for a rescue to charge fees to adopt animals that
they've rescued, but then how do people keep the resuce going.

In our case, we have had to muster all our rescued animals to one
location rather than let members keep them at their homes.

We now insist on adopters meeting their birds, learning about it and
making an obvious bond.  No bond and the bird never leaves.  No stable
home life and the bird never leaves.

Then too we end up with many birds that are really damaaged both
physically and emotionally, not just anybody is going to be able to
handle and care for them.  They will be with us for a long time. . .
and they need to eat and be cared for which i can assure you cost
bucks.

So, best thing to do is keep a watch on a bird rescue that charges fee
and watch for animal abuses or mistreatment or overcrowding.  A
"rescue" agency that just takes birds in, doesn't attend to their
needs then turns them is not much better than a puppy mill.

Check us out and give me some feedback if you like.

       Along this line of thinking what do you all think of a pet shop that
has a "donation" cup set out for one of their
large parrots that is ill with a tumor?

Actually, yes. It's annoying. And it makes you look like a w.nker.

> Does not play well with others

Oh that's right. You're that preachy guy aren't you?
I thought you took the hint months ago that nobody like you and left.

Now go away, we're trying to catch a greased PiG to roast on a spit.

If it doesn't look right, cut and paste it into Notepad set the font to
courier new, and either 8 or 10.

Hate to tell ya, but

b) it DOES go through the spellchecker of my E-Mail client

That's what I did.  I found it either at an ASCII art web site, or in an
ASCII art NG.

LadyTech,

There are also prgs that will convert a picture into an ASCII picture.  Just
do a Goole search, and you should get
tons.

LadyTech,

It is, and trust me once you start you'll probably end up trying to "run"
just about "every" photo that you have
through it. . .

I see someone hasn't been around computers for very long. . .  PRGs/prgs
is an abbreviation that goes back to the days when there was the
Commodore, Apple, Atari, TI, TRS-80, IBM-PC Jr., Amiga, etc.

http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=tons

As for Google, so I dropped a "g," I told ya that my newsreader DOENS'T
have a spell checker built in to it.
