I remember not too long ago seeing a heap (like hundreds I believe) of these gorgeous baby birds shoved into plastic water bottles (500ml kind) to be smuggled out of their country.......it was heartbreaking to see but I could not look away, I was so confused as to how anyone could do this to any animal regardless of how much money they may be worth.

Yes those photos were not easily forgotten. I posted them here.

I can still see those sad scared little eyes of those birds jammed into the tiny bottles

Sad to see this.

My Cassie was definitely a LSC...
