Myself and friend went into zoo pet shop ( next to what was the cheap lira shop ) today.
There was a budgie in a very tiny wood cage, that was very distressed it was unable to even turn round.
my friend asked the ast was the bird ok, she was not happy at all about us doing this and went straight over to a customer at the till and was obviously telling her that we where being a nuisance.
My Turkish is not that good but even I worked out what was being said.
The ast continued to be very rude and we told her that the bird needed to be put in the big cage if there was nothing wrong with it.
I will add at this point that none of the bird cages where very clean, I have also had to ask them to clean up runny dogs mess that was left in with a small puppy that was eating it and was covered in it a few months ago.
Some of the pet shops are so happy to take our money but they must also be made aware that standards and the well being of all birds, animals etc need to be kept.
