  1. @Poodle_Gun You're seriously defending the adopters who returned a rescue parrot to the shelter after just TWO DAYS, because he wasn't the 'perfect', well-behaved pet they demanded? Hmmm... Very interesting. Are you the shameful, failed adopters concerned? Your decision to come on here and defend the indefensible (and attack the rescue facility for caring for the bird, and working hard to find him decent owners), is bizarre to say the least! There needs to be a national official blacklist drawn up and maintained, of unsuitable animal owners. Every US rescue organisation/shelter should keep (and add to) that blacklist, and protect the most vulnerable category of animals, the unwanted rescues. To reject an animal that already suffered so much trauma through human rejection, is utterly despicable and inexcusable!

  2. I hope the insensitive, impatient people who decided this beautiful, sensitive bird wasn't friendly enough for them after TWO DAYS see this video, and read these comments. They should be banned from every animal rescue on the planet. With so little empathy for rescue animals, they are the last people who should be granted the privilege of adopting one!

  3.  @jeanhealy3132  Totally right! The fact the failed adopters were not willing to invest even a modest amount of time in that poor bird (whose difficult life history they knew all about), shows just how shallow, selfish and demanding they are. And totally unsuited to meeting the needs of ANY vulnerable rescue animal! Any sentient creature who suffered (as this poor bird suffered, for a very long time,) will likely find moving into a new home challenging. Who can blame him, he has been to hell and back! Why didn't they grasp that fact, and step up to help him? I am astonished they weren't willing to provide the emotional support he so clearly needed, not even for just one week, to ease that transition for him. They returned the poor boy to the shelter after mere days! Unbelievable. Apparently he wasn't behaving like the perfect pet - how ridiculous, and how horribly, coldly selfish of them! Shame on those people. It's a great shame they apparently can't be named and shamed. Had the poor Cockatoo only gone to loving, empathetic people, there's no question he'd have been given the gentle love, acceptance, time and space to settle down that he needed, and he would soon have bonded with his new surroundings, and new carers. Whoever the people are who rejected him, they should be placed on an official blacklist of would-be animal adopters/carers who are totally unsuited to such a role. Such individuals only want 'perfect' pets, who behave on their own, narrow terms - they clearly aren't remotely interested in supporting and nurturing these traumatised souls. And that isn't what animal rescue is about - it isn't a cut price pet shop! Such people must be booted out of the animal rescue system. If such a blacklist existed, they would be found out immediately they walked into any rescue or shelter seeking a pet. Sub-humans like this only want animal companions for their own benefit. And that is simply unacceptable!
