Hundreds of parakeets dropped off at Michigan animal shelter

The son of an animal hoarder dropped off nearly 500 parakeets to a southeast Michigan rescue shelter shortly before Christmas, and plans to return later with at least 50 more birds.

Kelley LeBonty, director of the Detroit Animal Welfare Group, which operates a shelter on a 25-acre farm in Macomb County's Bruce Township, said in an interview Saturday that the son called to say he was coming to surrender 60 to 80 parakeets that were at his father's house.

That's so sad. I bookmarked their facebook page. Hoarders of animals have some sort of mental issue yet they get no pass from me as they are abusing these animals but can't see it.
