Overall, I like Pampered Pets. \r
\r
Their store is always clean and tidy, and I love their do-it-yourself dog wash. \r
\r
The one thing that bothers me is their obviously unhealthy birds. The finches look fine, and their parakeets could probably use some attention, but their poor cockatiels! \r
\r
There is one gray cockatiel shoved in a cage with three other birds that obviously has some health issues (besides the fact that all the birds are on all-seed diets).\r
\r
The three other pearl cockatiels are new additions, most likely from the same clutch. They all have a head-twitch, most likely meaning they are extremely stressed. There eyes are sunken and red and could use some veterinary care. Whoever they purchase from, most likely a high-volume breeder, is selling off their birds too young, and sickly.\r
\r
Pampered Pets is lying to their customers. Inexperienced bird buyers think they are receiving a healthy bird, but will most likely have very high vet bills or a dead bird instead. And most pet owners do not think to take birds to a veterinarian, and when they do, it is often too late. There goes $70 down the drain, and the life of a helpless bird is taken due to negliegence. If you are searching for a pet bird - please search rescues!!!
