If frustrating. We can only do so much. Iβm 13 too and it breaks my heart when I see people treating their pets horribly. Of all places why petsmart. Everything will work out.

Yay! I actually emailed the rescue to see if she's boarding or being sold freely, and I REALLY hope it's the first one.

Same here...
The rescue ghosted me when it found out I was a minor (red flag) and I don't think they care about her that much...

Awwβ¦ what a shame. Thatβs so annoying just because your a minor. Some adults canβt even take care of birds properly. They just assumed.

At 7 years old, she could get to 14 or so, so she's middle aged.
You might have her for a good long while! Kudos for trying to adopt . My budgies were throwaway pets too. I hope you get her. I had budgies as a teen and they were happy.

Also, just wanted to mention that there are many many budgies looking for homes on craigslist and Kijiji. Some may be older and take a, while to train but it's still doable, as I'm learning first hand. So don't give up on an older budge.

Same here, but on Craigslist in VT, you almost never find budgies, and when you do, they're all inbred budgies that a filthy breeder is charging a crazy price for.

Thanks! I'm not worried about taming her or anything (I'm experienced in budgies), just worried that she'll get bought at PetSmart before I can get her...stupid rescue. I'm hoping her deformed cere scares off impulse buyers, though.At 7 years old, she could get to 14 or so, so she's middle aged.

Guys, they gave her to PetSmart to adopt out because she's 'unreasonable'.
Damn, I hate this rescue, I'm hoping to reserve her then pick her up today/tomorrow.

LuLu is set aside for us! We're going to pick her up now! OMG, this is surreal, I can't wait for her to finally be loved!
It is a 4 hour drive though.....
OMG
She'll finally be safe
I'm crying, she's been rejected even by the rescue who swore to protect her, and now she's safe
First rescue ever, I'm so privileged to be able to do this!
