  • Bottom line: Cage World is selling rescue birds at pet prices. There is no other way to describe it. They have a large number of birds for sale. But, most are behaviorally challenged and euphemistically referred to as "consignments." The truth is, the majority are poorly socialized and would be better described as "rescues." Normally, such birds are rehomed for nominal fees to encourage placement. Cage World is simply profiting from what are severely challenged birds. The worst part of this is: Cage World makes little effort to socialize these birds. Employees are usually found sitting in the back office surfing the web. While the store is full of poorly-socialized "rescue" birds sitting in cages heartbreakingly small and filthy. These birds often see no human interaction for days. Once or twice a day, an employee (usually unskilled help who is afraid to put their hand in most cages) will change the water and food bowls. But, for most of the day, employees are glued to the computer like they have obsessive-compulsive disorder. Rescuing animals is noble. I have sympathy for rescuers who get in over their heads and can't keep up (trying to "save just one more"). But, that's not the case at Cage World. Instead of charging a nominal "rehoming fee" (20% of pet prices) to encourage placement of problem birds with people who can donate time, they charge 60-80% of pet prices. Worse: employees act like they don't care. I'm always stunned to see them scurrying to their computers. If they're in the business of placing rescue (special-needs) birds, you'd think they would scurry to those birds and work with them every chance they get. Instead, the computer is a bigger attraction.
