These are the photos that were taken on May 12th, 2008 between approximately 3:30pm - 6:30pm at the time Orange County Animal Control Officials took custody of all 31 Macaws.

This was the location that the birds were kept prior to being moved nearly a 1/4 mile from the house to a field location.  We're not sure just how long the birds were housed at this location but the buildup of waste and trash gives you a good idea.  These waste mounds were nearly 2 feet tall in some spots. 

The field location that they were moved to

Notice the waste buildup still stuck to the wooden leg posts

These 2 carriers in the picture were empty

A pair of Scarlet Macaws.  Just below them is a massive "poop pyramid". 

Another view of the "poop pyramid" - nearly 2 ft. wide and over 1 ft. tall. 

Most of the cages had to be bolt cut open by the Officers due to rusted shut doors or rusted quick links holding the doors closed.

The perches were made of 2X6 lumber.

"The Three Muskateers" - a close-knit threesome of Blue and Gold Macaws with significant mishaped beaks.
