Well your are in a shit position, but the game has changed. Forget the part of how your friend screwed you and make your mindset as "I have no idea what she did, but I told her to stop." If they get mad at you, you spill your guts in rage (fake or real lol) at your friend. They already hate her and you can redirect that energy to her as they prob dont even know what she looks like. If they ask for who/where she is, say you guys haven't talked for some unrelated reason.

This almost made me consider slightly chuckling so thanks for this lighthearted post

This is why I feel like I'm being selfish but again all my friend had to go on was one bird was missing feathers. I checked the birds here and there for a couple of weeks and they were feeding them every day and cleaning the cages. To me they did not seem like they were on the verge of death. My neighbors have owned these birds for 10 years. My friend saw them 1 time, 1.5 months ago. Anyways, I'm still trying to find out what happened during the investigations. And there's a proper way to go about it without putting me in a bad position, which she did.
You dont need more information. You feel guilty because your friend told you. Had she withdrawn that information from you, you wouldnt even think about it.
I dont know what kind of birds these are, in general birds need social partners. And while having 3 birds does keep them busy, they need more than that.
If you want me to be honest, I did not want to text my neighbor for my friend. But my friend was freaking me out. At one point she texted me showing that she found out my neighbor's full name, place of work, etc. and it freaked me the fuck out. I texted in hopes of my neighbor saying "yes they're for sale" but that wasn't the case.
Its none of your business.
If something like that was happening I wouldn't even give a fuck about what my neighbor thinks, that's disgusting. But in this case I even made a thread about this a while back and a lot of ppl let me know that missing feathers does not necessarily equate to being in an environment that should involve Animal Control. And again, there's a way to go about it without putting me in a shitty situation, and currently I'm still trying to find out the details of the investigation.
It is my business. Animal control told my neighbors that the person who called was "a neighbor's guest" and it made it ridiculously obvious that the neighbor is me. I want to know what happened during the investigation.
Necessarily doesnt mean its not a sign of. If in doubt always call animal control. Its an an innocent animal that could be suffering.
You dont even know if they meant your friend. I am assuming you have more than one neighbour. They dont know, they might guess but that's it.
Kind of the feeling I'm leaning towards as well. They aren't just going to take pets away because OP's friend was repeating calling. They take pets away for a reason.
If the birds were being neglected your friend did the right thing while you hesitated.
If animal control took them then they did the right thing, it seems. Calling their friend a piece of garbage is wild.
Nah they are. They didn't care about OP's feelings,or request in dealing with their neighbour, nor the consequences in Op's life only what they wanted and why they wanted it. Its caused undue stress and the OP said he felt the birds were not being abused and being taken care of. The friend likely believes no bird should be caged, but thats not their decision for other people. This "friend" has now caused tension between Op and their neighbour and just strolls away not having to deal with the aftermath. Thats a piece of garbage.
So the birds should continue to live in potential abuse because it might cause someone to not like OP? That's some weird logic.
Unless they think the OP is crazy and retaliated for not selling the birds.
