Pet birds are not disposable! Would you do a commercial like this for a dog or cat? Please remove this commercial.

Birds are a very misunderstood pet, we need to try to ensure people learn to understand that a parrot is family, not decoration.

This is distasteful on so many levels. I am the owner of 3 beautiful parrots. Losing any of them out of an open window would be horrible not anything to make light of. Shame on you for your insensitivity

What the hell were you thinking? Did you not consult an animal advocate of any kind to see if this ad would not horrify anyone watching? I expected better from you Paypal.

That is needlessly cruel and heartless portrayal of flagrant disregard for life. There are enough stupid bird owners out there w/o you showing such behavior as if it’s acceptable. Take. It. Down.

Our birds are real loved souls. They are neither disposable nor replaceable. Please remove this ad and correct this mistaken impression. When our bird escaped we suffered through three of the worst days of our life.

This is an awful ad. A live animal is not something you replace like an item of clothing or a TV. Disgusting who thought of this idea ? Worse still someone thought of it then another person approved it ? Was it meant to be funny ? Because people lose their birds accidentally and it's heartbreaking for them. I won't use PayPal till this advert is taken down

I HAVE 2 PARROTS AND BOTH HAVE LARGE CAGES WITH LOTS OF ROOM AND LOTS OF TOYS. THEY SPEND A LOT OF TIME OUTSIDE THEIR CAGE WITH ME. THE COMMERCIAL IS OFFENSIVE TO WE WHO OWN AND LOVE AND CARE FOR OUR PARROTS. YOU NEED TO DO RESEARCH ON THE CARE OF PARROTS AND PLEASE TAKE THAT COMMERCIAL OFF THE AIR.
