I recently had to move to California for graduate school and, since Quakers are not allowed there, I had to find a new place for my Quaker baby of ten years. I found someone I believed to be reputable and, after visiting to see the living arrangements, left my Quaker with her. We agreed that I could come see her on holidays and that I could have her back after I finished school.
Three days after I left my fid with this person (I was on the road at this point), the person emailed me to tell me that my bird had died. I was horribly distraught and asked for more information, but the person simply stated that they had thrown out all of my bird's belongings and buried my bird a state away. They then said not to email them anymore and stopped communicating, replying to no emails or phone calls. My family was suspicious and we began to investigate. My vet told me that someone called and asked whether my bird was microchipped (she was not), and then we found a post online by the same person stating that they had taken my bird and given her away. The post contained some inaccurate information (about the bird's living conditions and my situation), but we could tell it was the same person.
If anyone in Ohio or in a nearby state has recently acquired a new female Quaker, whether purchased or rehomed, I would greatly appreciate it if you would contact me to see whether it is my baby. If you are also considering leaving your Quaker with someone, I would also suggest contacting me to make sure the person you leave him/her with is not the same person who did this to me. No one should have to go through this again.
Any advice or other help would be greatly appreciated. I'm heartbroken over this and my trust in humanity is greatly shaken. Thank you for your help.
