I'm still waiting to hear back from the SPCA. Not much I can do until I hear from them.

It must be frustrating for you..waiting. You have taken several steps to help..well done you. Its a brave move to report someone and it takes courage to do it.

I just hope they can help.
Thankfully, the birds are inside today, as it's going to rain.

Has it been long since you contacted the animal welfare?
Just keep ringing them with your concerns, even if it is twice in one day. This then paints a picture for them and they will soon be out

I left them an email late last night and called this morning. I might not hear back for a little, as it's a holiday week-end here in Quebec.

Is buying the birds from them an option for you?
Garet

I have no idea, tbh. I'm in a position to at least buy the red boy, if he's willing to sell. It's not the greatest time for us to take in a sick bird since we're going to be renovating soon, but I should be able to keep him in the laundry room. But I don't know if he'd be willing to sell.
Wow it takes bravery and courage to send an email or a phone call, my god that is so brave and courageous. So at what point in time did this email or phone call actually made the canaries live better?
Shinobi back off. He’s doing the best he can - he has to live beside these people you know! And it is a holiday weekend in Canada.
Here is where I posted about it.

I also used to take battered women to court from the shelter, the men would start on them at the courthouse and I’d get in their face (I’m 5’3). It worked. Apparently I lack the gene that makes you afraid.
Open forum.
Well obviously this is not the first time it's happen. So the "holiday weekend" excuse is a poor one at best and then have someone (clairecanary15) tell you how brave and courageous you are. All because you made a phone call / email which in all reality is just procrastinating. If he had "rescued" the birds then that would be brave, courageous and righteous. People should improvise, adapt and overcome.
There is no "afraid' gene it's just a state of mind. So don't put yourself on a pedestal.
I too, don't get scared of people or care what people think or say about me.

I feel bad enough as it is and I don't feel brave at all, but what else can I do? If I hop the fence and take him and someone sees me, it's not like I can run. My neighbors know me, and there are a lot of people out in their gardens or on their porches. Stealing him will only get the cops called to my door and stress him out. At best, they take him back and I've put him through unnecessary stress.
I don't mind you saying stuff, but it is a holiday week-end here. It's Saint Jean Baptiste day, which is a huge thing in Quebec.
Saint-Jean-Baptiste Day - Wikipedia
I don't think there is a scared gene either, but I do have severe anxiety issues. I've spoken about it before, but I'll take a picture of my pill bottles if you need proof. I really don't need the cops knocking at my door, either.
If this bird has mites or some other disease, I'd also be putting my own birds at risk by snatching him.

Yes, and I've taken steps to try and avoid just stealing the birds or getting the SPCA involved when this might have still been solved by talking to the owner and warning him of the dangers. Now that he knows it's dangerous and is still doing It, I'm doing what I can.
ETA: I didn't know he had a sick bird. Originally, I only saw one yellow canary who was in good health. I only got a good look at the red boy's head when his owner put him closer to the fence. I'd seen him two or so times before speaking to the owner, but all I could make out of him before was his color.

Garet is obviously doing the best that they can!
Tresspassing in the united states even for the rescue of an animal can become a felony if you remove the animal from the property. Courageous maybe... but ruining a life in the process and then costly fees and court dates and so on?
Sometimes all you can do is email or make a phone call, it may have happened before but perhaps Garet didn't pay close attention because even looking over a fence sometimes can be seen as an intrusion of privacy!
Garet takes excellent care of all their birds, takes in so many unwanted birds even to above and beyond what is needed.
Keep it up @Garet

I don't really mind having this discussion tbh. I'd hate to ignore those posts and make it seem like I'm only here to complain and ignore these birds.

Hey man calm down. I was just going to disregard your comments, but you're getting a bit out of hand.
As heroic as it sounds, jumping fences and rescuing in this situation can also be considered trespassing and stealing. It's been said here before and I'm going to say it again: @Garet is dealing with neighbors, so they have to deal with it with as carefully and responsibly as possible. What you're saying that "People should improvise, adaptand overcome." Is a lot easier said than done. You're not thinking about the legal repercussions. It has to be a balance. You have to improvise, adapt, and overcome within certain legal constraints.
People just want to help here. Be it with a direct advice or words of encouragement. Just because this is an 'open forum' doesn't justify your current attitude, so back off.
