Let's see some sources. Where do you get the figures you cite?

Knock yourself out.

The links below came from the Avian Welfare Coalition links & resources page. If you would like to speak to someone about the problem to get more detailed information, I'd suggest calling Foster Parrots, The Gabriel Foundation or any of the others listed.

Go tell them what you wrote above. Tell them that your bird-breeding club doesn't think there's a problem with parrot overpopulation or that people who spend thousands on a bird will figure out how to keep it, then come back here and tell us what the rescues said in response.

I don't think you've got the intestinal fortitude to call anyone about this. You might do it, but I doubt it.

Just quit the gratuitous insults. You know nothing about me and you prove your ignorance by junk of this type.

Since you cannot discuss without insults, there's no point in follow-up with you.

Perhaps the type of instruction you want from the pet stores is something like this: "You may have trouble with this bird (dog, cat) later on. Here's everything that could possibly go wrong." The animal organizations you support are trying to limit the public's right to purchase animals because they feel we are inherently incompetent, therefore they desire to limit our access to the marketplace with legislation and lawsuits.
