It's MINE

Today, after months of trying to persuade her to give it to a wildlife rescue, I reported my stepmother to the authorities for illegally keeping an endangered bird in the kitchen. When they took it, she screamed that I had no right to do that, as she considered it hers since she found it. FML

I didn’t realize the ‘finder’s keepers’ rule comes into play when it comes to living things..

She's keeping a wild bird in the kitchen? Now we know where zoonotic pandemics start.

You just don't like your step mother what is the harm in having a pet bird.... you are a hater 😐

Keeping it in captivity removes it from the breeding pool, for an endangered species that can be a hard hit.

Ask her what the bird eats, ask her what she would have done had it gotten sick? Ask her if she had rather a stranger turn her in and possibly come to the wrong conclusion and thought she was trying to make sure it was healthy so she could sell it on the black market, which may have been a federal violation of the lacy act. Ask her if she fed the bird the wrong food and accidentally killed it how she would have felt?
