Officers rescued more than 80 birds from a one-bedroom apartment, after they were found flying around in “unsanitary conditions.” The San Diego Humane Society said it was extremely sad to see the 84 cockatiels kept this way.
"I’m definitely pleased that they’re in a more suitable environment, and they’re out of those conditions. Both the gentleman that lived their and the birds are now able to get some help that they need," says Officer Beverly Fitzgerald of the San Diego Humane Society.
Police are investigating that tenant. And doctors are evaluating the birds’ health.
