Bird Mills
THE HIDDEN TRUTH

NEED TO KNOW:  The bird overpopulation problem has reached a critical level.  Birds, especially the larger and longer living species bred today, are adding to and not replacing birds bred one, two or even three decades ago.  Because of this, traditional city and county shelters have and will continue to euthanize birds in captivity.

Are you seeking out a bird rescue to take them off your hands to find a home for them or are you asking that we get potential adopters in touch with PGAMD?

Here are 3 images from a Breeder/Veterinarian's bird mill which had 600+ birds.  Places such as this are no more than factories pumping out babies for the pet trade.
