A Caged Bird is a Sad Bird - Demo against Bird Paradise

Every year thousands of birds are bred and sold by one of the largest bird stores in the nation: Bird Paradise.

Posted By: Candace Ritz - New Jersey Team Leader

Pet store birds are deprived of their natural environment and imprisoned in tiny cages. Reach Out for Animal Rights (ROAR) will be teaming up with Mobilization for Animals to demonstrate at Bird Paradise. Maybe you've seen the late night commercial on the local channel where Bird Paradise brags about having thousands of birds for sale. View their websites: birdparadise.biz and mybirdstore.com . Make sure to check out the "Bird TV" video.

On their own website, they claim they are the "World's Large st Bird Store". Let's tell them that profiting from the exploitation of birds is not something to be proud of. To see video of actual bird mills, visit www.projectperry.com/birdmills.html

When arriving at the demonstration please do not pull through Bird Paradise’s parking lot. Parking is available on the side streets next to Bird Paradise.

RSVP appreciated but not required. We will be carpooling to Bird Paradise after the Monster Pets demo. As with all of our demos, signs and leaflets are provided, but feel free to bring your own.
Email justroar@comcast.net or visit www.myspace.com/reachoutforanimalrights for more info.

NOTE: When we went out to demo at this location for National Bird Day, Bird Paradise's owners tried to intimidate us. Even though we had contacted the city's police department by phone prior to the demo, the owner somehow persuaded the officers on duty to ask us to leave. We were not able to demonstrate. Since then, we've met with the very polite chief and lieutenant at the police department. They have guaranteed that we will not encounter any problems conducting our future demonstrations. They even took us out to the location to show us exactly where we can park and stand during our demos!

WHAT YOU CAN DO:

Attend the demonstration and help bring an end to bird mills!
