I had to take some birds to a rescue years ago. I’m incredibly thnkful that lady was doing what she was doing.
I did not choose to adopt/purchase them. My mother did, then did nothing with them for years, then she died and I ended up with a pair of 7-ish-year-old unhandleable conures. Screamy birds. I get headaches daily, migraines weekly.
I cared for them for several years, got them sort of handleable, but I couldn’t deal with them for another 25 years.
That isn’t unique, people inherit animals all the time that they didn’t plan for, or their life situation changes drastically. Be careful with that shaming. People who don’t deserve it will catch strays (bullets, not pets)
