No I didn't. I had a lot to consider and some good advice from some users on here gave me things to think about. First one being that if it was sick was I prepared to bring it into my own flock and risk them and I wasn't. I got too emotionally involved and upset over the whole thing, I just had to let it go.

I know she would have taken the bird "out the back" and it would never be seen again. Even if i did report her to authorities there would have been nothing to see as it would have been gone.

And, I can say i have never been back there, so, she lost a good customer that would spent a minimum of $50 a week there, problem is i cant report her to the boss as she is the boss. I can't bare to go there again and see another sick bird or have her give me attitude, I just don't know what i would do in my moment of anger.

Poor baby bird :cry:

Yea, thats how I feel too. :-( . It really bothers me that peole like that deal with poor helpless creatures. But you're right. Sometimes you have to let it go. Just that I find it hard to do.
