What kind of cold hearted person wouldn't let a sweet older lady take her little bird???
I would have stayed with my bird!

ME TOO!

I foudn it so sad that cruel "rescuer" wouldnt let her take her bird

"Ma'am while were all about to drown, and we have PLENTY of room on the rescue boat, Im going to have to ask you to take that small carrier your bird's in and put the bird back inside the cage, while the waters are rising, so I can hurry up and get you to shore."

GOSH. I couldnt believe what was going on in that "rescuer"s mind.

POOR BIRD :*(

But I am SOO glad he was saved form such nice people!!!!! GOD BLESS THEM!

wow good that he is saved.
