Lissette thank you for sharing all the bird rescue and fancier information in your area. The contrast in the experiences you've had with them and with ferret people had me absolutley shocked. I hope this isn't the case across america. I know the pigeon racing thing is not good however.. that is sad. I came from horse people and they are much like ferret people. Actually many reptile people might happily surprise you also. I realize that ferret people and rescuers are special.... and go that extra mile in comparison to some animal people... but ... well I guess I got so comfy with the thought that I hadn't given it much thought lately. So I'm thanking you for making us all realize how special ferret people, rescuers in particular are.
