Time and again, we hear from people who are unable to cope with keeping their pets. Sometimes because the dog has behavioral problems, sometimes for health reasons. When a Viennese social worker contacted us, she gave us a brief description of the situation. The animal lover had suffered many strokes of fate, causing her to lose track of her animals. There were around 80 budgerigars and cockatiels that were now urgently looking for a home. Once on site, it turned out that the estimate was grossly understated, as the Gut Aiderbichl team had given 323 parakeets a new home that day.
