This IS something to consider.

Let’s talk about the whole “adopt don’t shop” thing real quick.

I get the intention behind it, and I fully support adoption when it’s the right fit. But what I don’t agree with is the guilt or pressure it puts on people, especially first time bird owners for choosing to get a young, healthy bird from a responsible breeder instead.

The truth is, a lot of birds in rescues have deep rooted behavioral or medical issues. That’s not shade, just reality. And expecting someone brand new to birds to take that on isn’t just unrealistic, it can be damaging. They might get overwhelmed, discouraged, and walk away from birdkeeping altogether. That doesn’t help anyone.

Also, let’s not forget, it’s usually not breeders creating these rescue situations. It’s people who didn’t educate themselves before getting a bird, then give up once it becomes “too much”. Responsible breeders are the reason we still have access to some of the incredible species we do today. Cause let me tell you, once those birds are gone from captivity, they’re gone for good.

Ethical breeding and adoption both have a place. It’s not one or the other. The real issue is irresponsible ownership, not the fact that someone chose to buy instead of adopt. And for the people saying breeders only do it for the money… you’re wrong, but that’s a discussion for a different time. Let’s be real… adoption isn’t free either. You’re still paying a fee. It might go to the rescue instead of a breeder, but it’s still a transaction. So technically, it’s a form of purchase too… sooo😗 anyways y’all have a good one!!
