bad cameramen, I wanna see the birds not the guys

@321pudgie they are domesticated meaning they rely on humans
-
i think this is good compared to other farms

I wonder where the birds get the chance to fly and exercise? Are there aviaries there for the birds? Must be alot of big aviaries for that many birds.
Who ever said lovebirds wouldn't breed if they were not happy. Not true, they can and will breed whether they are in optimal health/condition or not.

They have everything they need - enough space, clean living quarters, company of other birds, readily available good quality food, protection from the elements, the chance to reproduce and raise young and safety from predators.Young birds in the wild have very low odds of survival and are lucky to make it to adulthood. They are living an easy life here, much easier than life in the wild (where captive bred birds would not be able to survive). I guarantee you, these are very happy birds!

These cages are bigger (and cleaner) than the cages most people buy at the pet store to keep them as pets plus they are kept in pairs (so they're not lonely like the pet you buy from the pet store) and they are given the chance to breed. The birds are kept in good conditions otherwise they won't breed. Do you think it's cruel simply because they are in a big room with plenty of other birds around? Much better than being in a cage in someones living room or porch all alone!

Or the lone African Grey, in a cage in someones living room, which barely has space to spread its wings, which will never have the chance to breed despite being a near threatened species.
Bird breeders should be applauded, they relieve pressure on wild populations & have even saved some species from extinction - birds bred in cages not unlike these. It's the people who keep them alone in their living rooms that are cruel not breeders
Visit a reputable bird breeder in your area &educate yourself

Nothing cruel about this at all. Cages are clean & plenty spacious enough - the bird are certainly not cramped. In fact birds often feel more secure in their environment if their cage is not too big. They won't breed unless they're kept in good conditions - birds are very fussy. What's cruel is the little old lady that has a budgie, a social bird that should always have a partner, alone in it's cage it's entire life.
-
they are a lot because they feel good in this environment
-
this man should be left in cage
The facility is nice and clean, the bird cages are nice and clean and, with all the cards on the sides of the nest boxes, it appears they're keeping great records of their breeding progress.......so what's the problem folks? These cages are bigger than most people keep their lovebirds and/or parakeets in...so again, what's the problem?
