Subject: RE: BS: I did not mean to torture birds but...
You have my sympathy donuel. My son rescued an abandoned dove which had evidence of pecking attacks on its body. We nursed it back to health and he grew and he grew and he grew. I was convinced it was actually a seagull. In a moment of daftness I thought it might like the company of a mirror. I put it in the cage and the bird freaked out. Seems it was terrified of other birds. I nearly killed it and after that if I even set foot in the room the bird went into a fit.
That filthy bird was the only animal I have ever disliked. He ended up with the "Bird Lady of Queens" whose home had been converted into huge cages for injured and abandoned birds. I wish him long life and peace.
