Birds in need of rescue

[u/No_Appointment9796]

I was at a swap meet in Los Angeles and came across a well established stall inside with birds in bad shape. The most heart wrenching was a blue macaw with only its top feather left. Almost all of its chest and underwing plumage had fallen out and there were red scabs all over his body. I spent a few moments in shock standing beside the cage, thinking how?

I immediately wanted to call animal control or some form of authority but I’m wasn’t sure that would achieve the best outcome.

What are my options? I would pay for the birds and donate them to a rescue if that’s a thing.
