The local wild bird center has some rescued budgies for free. If it wasn't for the fact that I'm very close to finally getting my indoor aviary I wouldn't even think twice. I just hate the fact that they are giving them away for free. Can't they be a bit more responsible then that? Especially close to Christmas time.:( They can also come with a free cage, yeah I wonder how big it is.:rolleyes:
Forgot to add they are advertising them on craigslist of all places.:(

Wow, that does bother me a bit. I hope that they at least screen adopters a little bit.

That doesn't sound like the best idea for the birds. Hopefully they're doing some screening and just didn't post that part.

I think it's because they deal more with wild birds like sparrows, hawks and such. But still they should care more about them then this.:(
