Pet Store Abuse - Most of us have heard the sad stories about puppy mills. Hundreds of miserable creatures huddled in crowded cages-- their only purpose in life being to breed. However, most people have not been exposed to the avian equivalent, the bird mill. Bird mills are facilities which are used to mass produce parrots for the pet trade. Almost all pet stores, especially the larger chains, purchase their parrots from bird mills.
