Sad when birds are captured (any wildlife) for trade, what gorgeous garden for birds to enjoy their favourite snacks while you snapped away in contentment.

Yes, that is so true, but its just as bad when they are constantly bred, to be discarded.
As far as I'm concerned, the only difference between the ugly Puppy factory trade and bird breeding, is that people are far more aware of the horrendous conditions that puppy factories are, than they are of the completely hidden, completely unregulated and ungoverned bird breeding is- and in this hidden practice, is a world of filth, disease and cruelty, when the bird is first bred and then even after adopted, and that is why there are so many non-profits out there like Nikky's that are trying desperately to rehome hundreds of abandoned and relinquished birds.
Not only that, birds can live for decades, so what happens when the owner dies?
I inherited my girly girl when mum died and she was supposed to live till was about 50, but was only 18 when she devastatingly passed a few months ago...😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
But what would have happened to her if she had of lived till she was 50 (I would have been 84), but what would have happened to her if I died before that.
Then she would be totally heartbroken (like I am now) and would have had to go to a 3rd owner, not knowing why. And this is one of the biggest things that people don't think of when they do get birds on a whim.
Not only don't they realise just how messy, noisy, expensive, demanding, time consuming little darlings that they are, they also don't think about the affect on the bird when it has to go through multiple owners and that's not fair on the birds.
Anyway...sorry to rant, but I just wish humans would be far more thoughtful before they acted....
Bird trade is devastating, had a friend who's bird loved her husband and attacked her.
Later started to lose feathers, very fortunate to find a professional who took her in, she desired a mate fortunate to live in massive aviary, most probably still there, that is about twenty years ago.
Too many animals being handled cruelly by man.
Yes and that is another un- thought of fact too.
as much as birds love to be in flocks, they only want one partner and too many people don' realise this.
Can become quiet mean when they don't get what they want, my friend could not move around her home without being attacked, few nasty nips with the beak as well.
Oh yes, I've seen that too...Very demanding they are...And I equate their bites to the same as a Croc bite...just much smaller, but just as piercing and painful.
Something you won't forget in a hurry.
Haaa yes, my old flatmate knows that.
He thought that Indy- my Indian Ringneck and him were getting to be besties, so he went up to her as she was sitting on the door of her cage- which was always open when someone was home, and he out his hand out and she bit him on the thumb and it went almost all the way through his HUGE thumb and he has a hole in it for months after that- especially since he was a traveling balloon blower and needed to use his thumb all day every day....
Apparently she didn't even give him any warning screech- just went for it and bit down.
Pliers comes to mind, rips through flesh, not enjoyable!
