Ariel Fleming Erie, Pennsylvania Do NOT buy from this breeder! I got an IRN I had him for a week when he got extremely ill and passed away. When I contacted the breeder they ignored me and didn’t try to make anything right. They don’t care about their birds or buyers. Awful people 4/7/2024 12:56:13 PM

Mrs. Williams, We appreciate you emailing us with your concerns and we would like to address your concerns. We agree that nobody should be taken advantage of because English is not their native language - That was never the intention with your friend as we are also sons and daughters of immigrants that came here many decades ago in order to chase the American dream. Your friend did not wait for the baby to put on weight, she waited for the baby to be weaned - eating on its own. We check our babies’ crop, breast, nose, vent and weight everyday. The baby weight was 103 grams Feb 2, 2024 the night before the pick up, and 102 grams during the observing stage. However, babies can revert (become unwean) when they are in a new environment as this subjects them to newfound stress. Birds have a very high metabolism which is the reason why they have frequent bowel movements. When they don't eat, they starve and become dehydrated. You may see them eat, however, they are not eating significantly enough to keep their organs functioning correctly. We usually only sell babies up to 20 weeks old. When babies are taken home prior to 20 weeks, they do make better pets as they can develop a stronger bond with their owners and are more interactive with humans. However, they are more fragile; In many ways similar to an infant’s underdeveloped immune system and softer bones for the first 6 months. This was explained to your friend. We never insulted her, nor did we ever place blame. We did the best we could to explain to her that a healthy baby does not die. The most common reasons for bird death reported to us determined through necropsy and reported by our customers are accidental injuries from handling, impact trauma (flying into a window), ingestion and inhalation of toxic materials and fumes, and improper preparation/delivery of feed. We explained to your friend that birds who experience these types of accidents likely will not present symptoms that are identifiable to the untrained eye, such as brain hemorrhages, pulmonary edema (fluid in lungs), ect. We never blamed nor accused her of being the reason for the death of her bird. We understand that life is very precious, but no life is guaranteed, as is the life of our birds after they are out of our hands. This is the reason why we give our customers any amount of time they need to build a bond with our birds before they leave our aviary. They can choose to come daily and for as long as they need to build that bond. When your friend called and advised us of what happened to her bird, we empathized with her. Sudden loss of a beloved pet is indeed traumatic and can leave many of us in distress with feelings of shock and confusion. This is the reason that we offered her a discount, not because we “sold her a sick bird”. We have spent many years exercising transparency and trust within our community so we do not take these accusations lightly. We are truly sorry for her loss. If you have any additional questions or concerns regarding the source, environment and living conditions of our birds, we are more than happy to address them. The Bird Boyz
