Can I sell my pet birds back to the store, or what are my options?

Most pet stores will not take pets back unless they were purchased very recently. Looking to see if you can rehome them though a local ad, or contacting a local animal shelter may be your best option. A local shelter may be able to get you into contact with a bird rescue that can take them and adopt them out to a new home for you.

You can just remove any newly laid eggs and discard them if you don't want to hatch any more babies. Many captive birds will continuously lay eggs, so just removing them is fine. If you are looking to rehome some birds, it would be best to put an ad in a local paper, or contact any local stores near you. Most pet stores already have contracts in place with breeders, so you may need to find another option for rehoming them.

It is very unlikely that the store will take the gecko back, as they will not know whether it has any health problems. If you cannot keep it, you should ask your local shelter to take it , or contact a reptile club in your area. Maybe someone will take the Gecko off your hands.

I'm sorry to hear that one of your birds has flown away. If you have a second cage, you can place it in the yard where she flew off and put some food and water in it, as some birds will come back to eat and drink If you catch her inside, you can then close the door and bring her back in. If you do manage to catch her, bringing her to a vet to make sure she didn't get injured or ill while out and about is a good idea.

Reach out to the local humane society or animal rescue, as they sometimes have connections that assist people with veterinary bills. Contact your local vet and ask if something can be worked out. Borrow money from friends or family. If she is egg bound or ill for other reasons, not much can be done at home. Supplemental heat in the 80-85 F can give some comfort but is not a treatment. Offer water via a small syringe. Good luck.

Hello, and thanks for your question. Oh goodness, there are so many factors that would play into my advice. Is one location or the other better for Bobo? Did you essentially give him to your grandma 7 months ago? If so, then he is really her bird now. If it was understood from the beginning that she was providing a temporary home, then you could better justify take him back again. In short, this is a question better answered by a trusted friend or family member who knows the family dynamics and the full story with Bobo, and I would also weigh in how your grandma feels about it! I wish you all the best in making this decision!
