livingart Posted October 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 you sound like my youngest son p44 don't be too quick to pass a judgement before you have walked in their shoes many people lose sight of reality and little things become important this was an eviction case, maybe they walked away for their sanity sake the birds were generally in good health though most needed worming cockatoos are in shock, they are seeing sky for the first time in a while i think 2 extra sacks of kibbled maize methinks chickens were happy eating grass for awhile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
