Advertised on a local facebook group I saw two budgies (male and female) in a teeny tiny cage together for sale. I was hoping to save these guys from moving to another home and living in the same tiny cage but was not quick enough and someone brought them before me. I messaged her asking if she would like to purchase a larger cage that I have spare and she wrote back saying the cage was fine that she got.

I then tried to explain the importance of seperating the birds, and getting them into larger cages. This is the reply she sent:

"You didn't win the buy i did so i will keep the birds however i want to thank you"

*sighs....Why are people such bloody idiots!
If only I could have been 10 mins earlier I could have rescued these poor little guys

Oh no! Those poor keets! It breaks my heart whenever I see birds cramped together in small cages......
Don't feel bad! You tried your best. Hopefully their new owner will wise up and buy them a bigger cage so they can stretch their teeny feet and wings~

marley you have a great heart ...and i wouldnt be so quick to maybe think it was a total loss...this individual is first of all i believe ..young with their attitude..and in need of a bit of knowledge and be it however it was delivered to them you made a point which im sure ..is now in the back of their heads and will be sure to move frontal soon enough.

after thought keep in mind this is also facebook...others are going to see and im certain there will be some other comments about it all too.

I agree with illusive, you planted a seed. That will bother that person daily when they look into the little cage. Nice try though Marley

I agree also..You did plant the seed
