Sorry for the crappy joke attempt. This whole thing really depresses me and trying to find humor is the only way I can deal. The worst is knowing it’s now being sold in pet stores and online stores. Thank you @pawprintedheart for collecting info to give to the store near you. Our only hope is if we all continue to spread the word we can prevent more birds from getting sick.
Yeah I was a bit stunned to see it there but they had quite the selection. However, I passed the information along and their passing it up to management. It might not do anything, but at least I feel like they have a heads up now.

I have all of CW Mc McCalls records from back in the day. Mom and us were really into country for a bit and he was big back then. He later did some CD's of his favorite records and the band he used is now the Trans-Siberian Orchestra. If you search Google for him all this stuff eventually shows up about him, where everyone is and is doing now, all kinds of cool info. He had a LOT of cool little funny songs back then besides Convoy, Some were even serious , but mostly just fun little country type stuff.

I would have put C.W McCall's version on but there was a few choice words in the background music, not appropriate for this forum.
I can't wait to see what @Teckechick finds on her trip to Rockford

She can post about that but can’t seem post and tell the truth about how many people she scams out of money by never shipping their orders

The text version:

Good Evening,

This will be a bit long, but I am sharing something in Hope's that you will all understand a bit of what is going on here at Unapproved Vendor's Dailies.

We have sat by during attacks on our company, and even personal attacks on our past (which has nothing to do with bird food). However, the lines have now crossed.

They have:

Claimed that our food killed their birds. However, these people have either not ordered from us, or did not order things to make a balanced meal, so either they were feeding their birds unbalanced diets, or supplementingwith other things. Also some of the birds were already sick with cancer and organ failure/disease and the cause of death, as far as we know, was illness, not our food. We asked them to provide veterinary documentation so that we could understand the issue, none was provided. If you actually had a bird get sick or die and it truly was from my food, yet you refuse to provide me the appropriate proof so I can recall products if needed, then all I have to say is SHAME ON YOU! YOU are then endangering other birds, if there truly was or is some issue, I cannot do anything without that information because I do not know what the issue is!

Claimed our foods have not been tested. They have. We have posted the results. We also have a business license and are licensed to produce food and have regular inspections.

Called my husband's place of employment and harassed him and his boss about me, accusing me of illegal activites.

Publicly posted my husband's and CHILD'S photo with captions like: "Here's her lovely, loser husband and spawn. I'm sure that young adult will be walking in their shadows..."

Done background searches and posted my personal address, full name, birthdate, personal phone number, and my family's information to the public. They claim the last sale was so that we could pick up and move...to a random Janesville address. But, hey, PLEASE go drive by that address you think we live at, in the very BEST part of Janesville, WI. Let us know how that works out for you! We very much still live in the same house in Rockford that we have for the last 7 years. Our shop is very much still open for business.

Sent us death threats and done drive bys to our business- posting that they're going to get a big group together and come by the shop. My son and I work alone there and now that we can't feel safe there during normal hours, we've gotten creative as to when we're there. If there are people hovering, we don't stay. It has slowed a lot of things down, and it is part of the reason why things are not going as smoothly as they should. My family's personal safety comes FIRST. However, ask any of my local clients, you are welcome to schedule to come by if you have an order to pick up. If you do not have an order to pick up, you have no business being there. We are not a store front, and being there for any reason other than picking up an order is harassment, loitering, and stalking, all of which are illegal.

Posted a single legal issue we had when we were rescuing birds over 20 years ago. Have any of us NOT had something in our pasts we'd rather forget and move past? My past was running a small bird rescue. I paid for all the vetting, the food, cages, toys. I found homes for unwanted babies, sometimes for NO adoption fee at all if the home was right. My trouble was making a breeder upset with me. She and her small clic ran me through court cases over birds, all because I was "taking business". They went so far as to take photos of my elementary school children playing outside at recess. I went to the police but back then there was nothing they could do about cyber things. My children were very young, and we were scared and also young ourselves. So, we broke our rental lease, and moved. As a mother, I felt I needed to protect my children because the law couldn't. So, yes, we ended up with an eviction case on our records. I don't know what that has to do with bird food, but since they're posting about it everywhere, I felt I would explain it.

And to our loyal supporters, we love each and every one of you! We sincerely apologize to you and how this has affected you and our order fulfillment/shipping times. We understand how frustrating this has been for you as well. We are trying to get this matter settled, but it is taking time and resources. Again, my family's safety is first, and we appreciate your understanding!

We are busier and stronger because of you, and these issues will only help us come out on top in the end!

Love,

Unapproved Vendor's Dailies

Or her ONE eviction fearing for her Families safety. Uh well yeah, when you don't pay People, some take things into their own hands. You must be really scared moving packing up and running all the time getting evicted and taken to court for not paying rent!

The rescue lies, sure! Windy City Parrot shared the original story about her taking in birds, and FLIPPING them for money. Not saving them to care for as a SANCTUARY as stated. FLIPPED for money, by a SCAMMER.

She can post these long winded stories. Believable? To those morons who continue to buy this junk.

As for the proof of birds dying? There is proof, Vet Bill's and ill birds. A few deaths, one Man had a necropsy done. She ignores and acts stupid on People asking about non shipped orders. Do you honestly think she would reply to proof of a necropsy report?

Nope. As for her testing and inspections? She doesn't label what is in her witches brews, just how in the world can a recall even be possible?

That would mean keeping small batches and sending them all out. Not gonna happen.

Lies, all lies and face it you are a repeat criminal Girl!

Tough to play hardball in the bird world when everyone has your number.

No excuse or explanation on the Unemployment Dept taking you to court? You even swindled the Government for false unemployment compensation seriously? :coffeescreen:

who does this? Honest People don't.....The End

HEY MM, here's the deal, show all of us, with actual flipping proof that you are a certified avian nutritionist, by proof I mean exactly where in God's green acres did you get your degree? College degree? NOT DEGREE IN HARD KNOCK CITY, cause honey, we all have those degrees to some extend or another. ACTUAL COLLEGE DEGREE from a true college?
It won't happen cuz she ain't got one.
I've talked to Mitch from Windy City Parrots several times about you MM. And it's not running good in your favor period. You have done so many scam businesses for invisible ferret cages, for sanctuary for birds that with hours of getting them you flipped their feathered lives for cash in your back pocket.
I have done my research on you and I believe that everything I found in black white says a lot more about you then it does about me. You can deny all that you want too, but truth is all public records. It just took research and to be God's honest here. It was easier then you showing all of us your college degree that you DO NOT HAVE. Go cry a river on somebody that believes you cuz we don't believe a single word that falls from your lips.
SHOW US YOUR COLLEGE DEGREE LADY???????

Yeah, it's really cool to know that the last 6 months of my life have been faked for....??? Fame? Money? I certainly haven't gained either of those! I don't know what she's thinking??? Well, I have an idea, but I can't say that here.

I forgot Windy City Parrot shared that story. I wonder if they would mind me putting my vet in contact with them? It's worth a shot. They're out about half an hour from me (they used to be in Chicago, now they're out in Lowell Indiana).

A sob story to buy more time for her delayed shipping on orders. More people who purchased and are either waiting for products or their refunds should tell her " Your problems.... aren't my problems." Call the Waaaahmbulance....

And... great job at spilling beans for some people who 'might' be new customers to read and will run away from ordering ( while chasing off current customers). You're gonna need a bigger shovel dearie... :digin:
