Castro Valley: 500 exotic birds being bred in backyard
Woman in Castro Valley began breeding parrots in back yard as a business, selling the birds on Craigslist. Bare wire cages with sheet metal on top, crammed up against each other, masses of parrot crap and flies. Officials haven't done anything yet because no one is equipped to deal with the birds.
Makes me furious and sad. Here we debate among ourselves as to proper bar spacing, how much out of cage time, diet....and this a-hole puts 500 intelligent animals in bare cages, outdoors, no enrichment, totally artificial environment, in order to make more parrot objects to sell. It's wrong. It has to stop. How many of these people are out there?
