Forwarding this: CAG was stolen in L. A. area last night

[Nikomania]

The owner is beside himself. He boarded his bird, but someone smashed and grabbed 3 CAGS and an amazon last night in Los Angeles. Wanting to help get the word out for his owner who is desperate to have him back. He's banded.

Poor bird Finger crossed for a safe return!!

What a nightmare,I'm so sorry to this owner and for the other ones stolen. I hope they are all safely found and reunited with their families.

 

[Kassiani]

I'm so sorry to read this! I hope they can be found and returned. Yet another reason why I have zero interest in living in LA.

Oh I'm so sorry to hear this. I'm on the east coast of US. Back in the 80's a pet store called Fins and Feathers had a Blue Hyacinth Macaw named Andy. It is disgusting that people will steal these animals for profit. The thieves cut through the back wall of the building to get him. I hope the boarding facility had security cameras. I am so sorry for the pain these owners must be going through.

I don’t understand how this happens - as in, physically, how it happens. How do people do this? These are larger birds, that bite really hard, and scream really loudly.

Probably professional thieves.

I'm in Virginia now, however this happened in the 80's in Rockville, MD.

Hoping the four stolen birds are all recovered! They must be petrified.

I think you’ll find they’d either be netted or caught in a pillow case type of bag. It makes me feel sick in the gut to think of how these birds were removed from their cages and how they might be feeling now. Fingers crossed none were injured during the theft and that they’re found safe and returned to their homes.

 

[Snowghost]

As I said before, I bet these guys had this planned out, its not easy to catch these types of parrots. I hope somehow they are found. Please keep us updated.

How awful

 

[expressmailtome]

That is awful. This one of the reasons that I go back-and-forth on microchipping Michael as a source of irremovable identification.

Apparently with dogs some people cut them out.
