What about fish, birds, and reptiles

Actually, birds are HIGHLY overpopulated. Parrots are bought for their look or 'just because they talk' and when people realise they are messy, loud, demanding animals that can outlive them, they end up in shelters. Take a look at any petfinder, you'll see plucked birds that had such bad luck they ended up in a home that just ignored them. I especially blame the large chains like PetSmart, Petco, etc. Sooooo many people buy on a whim or lie to the workers when they say they know what they're getting into. You'd be surprised how many birds dumped at shelters are from those stores.
