The lady that I got Pinkie from rescues birds, reptiles and fish. She just adopted out a pair of Parakeets, goldfish and still has a turtle for adoption. At one time small animals weren't a problem and weren't seen in rescues and shelters but now with people backyard breeding, breeder mills breeding for profit and petstore screw-ups the number of unwanted animals is staggering and out of control. Just because you don't see birds, reptiles and fish in rescues doesn't mean they aren't out their abandoned somewhere.....cause they are. Most rescues aren't knowledgable enough to care for these exotic animals. The idea of thinking it is ok to breed these animals just because they aren't seen in rescues is wrong. If people keep thinking this way than there will be a need for more shelters to house all those unwanted birds, reptiles and fish.
