When mum had hers stolen back in 2000 they just used wirecutters and bypassed the locks. Big gates and a noisy dog are the go. (Noisy when strangers come not at other times)

finchbreeder, they used drugs on the dogs that were at the property in Deven Meadows behind me. I went and seen the owners on Wednesday for seed and the dogs were still very ill and not the same. You just wonder if its safer to meet people somewhere else other than your property to sell your birds.

I throw off by saying my house is too hard to find and Ill meet them somewhere in town . No big deal I just transfer birds in the car . Of course there are exceptions to this rule but mostly I do it this way .
Yes Im more concerned about my dogs and what people will do to shut them up . Bloody sad world we live in these days .

And no I dont have Macaws or anyhthing like that but I would be devastated if something happens to my birds .
Accept that some days you are the pigeon, and some days you are the statue.

AMCA they really were going all out then. Would not like this to happen to my poor little old lady dog. But I do not have a lot of more expensive birds. Very sorry for the poor people this has been happening to.

I believe they came the night before i think but the dogs scared them off and then came back the next night fixed the dogs and then stole the birds. They were seen advertised on Gumtree. I guess any cheap Finches and Parrots seen advertised let the police know. I do believe they went to another petshop or bird place to sell them.
