Theres an add on my CL these people posted, theyre not sure of the age but they mainly seem to have used them for breeding, but their eggs rolled out of the nest.. the pics look like theyre in a damn box, here is the link WTH is the deal here!? what to do?! Poor birds used then tossed aside

Macaws need a good home

Well they are fully feathered so they weren't neglected, and the box you are talking about is their nest box not their cage. I don't think their situation is as bad as you think it is.

They look like they're in good feathered condition. Like cdog says, I don't think their situation is as bad as you think it is.

Like cdog mentioned already, they're in a nest box, it's probably attached to the cage like the other birds are.

They aren't being kept in boxes, if they were then their tails would be messed up, the nest box is attatched to their cage. The nest box is just for sleeping and breeding.

They may not live in a box, but I do find it sad that they were most likely just used for breeding purposes only to be tossed when a better breeding speciman came along.

I agree with the others they look good.
That being said you point out a sad truth of the pet bird trade.

Be Big,
