[QUOTE="plat, post: 949230, member: 74969"] I will risk something to remove an animal from danger. A few years ago, I was walking to the store and had to pass by a run-down apt. buidling. There were some men sitting around a tree and drinking/smoking weed but something in the tree flashed there and caught my attention. I stopped and looked and saw there was a male Cardinal shut up in one of those cheap tiny cages you keep little pet-store finches in. He was just hopping back and forth endlessly in his little prison-cell in the tree. I looked angrily at the men sitting there in silence but no one would look me in the eye. I turned around and went home and contacted the [URL='https://www.wildbirdfund.org/']Wild Bird Fund[/URL]. Amazingly, someone answered me within minutes and informed me it was illegal to do this (of course!). He then requested my name and phone number as they were going to get the cops involved. Sure enough, 15 min. later NYPD called me to tell me they found the cage and released the Cardinal. I walked past that apt. building the next day-- no one harassed me and they haven't to this very day. At times, if you see something, do something. 🐦🦆😍 [/QUOTE]
