The birds/parrots they have come from bird mills which are equivalent to a puppymill. The cats I believe are kept there for rescues and are handled strictly by the rescues. I hate to see the cats in cages but they are there to be adopted so in away there is something good coming out of that. The birds kill me because I know where they come from. Also, both Petsmart and Petco move the birds around a lot. If they do not sell at one store they move them to another and often these beautiful tame hand fed babies become unsaleable. It's really a shame.
