'No More Room at the Inn' Says Nevins Farm After It Takes in Hundreds of Birds Seized from Home

This past weekend, hundreds of game birds were seized from a Springfield home. 

Quail, pheasant, parrots, chickens, and hundreds of other game birds were transported to the Thomas J. O'Connor Animal Control Center and Adoption Center last week after they were removed from a "quiet neighbor's home," reported ABC News. Some 700 birds, in fact. 

Some of the birds were put down because they were sick. Others were sent to the MSPCA's Nevins Farm in Methuen. No charges are being sought, according to ABC, but officials will look into zoning violations. 

Now, Nevins' notes on its Facebook page that because of the seizure, "the winged population count at our barn went from 74 to 501 in a single day as 7 chickens, 357 quail, 19 chukar partridge, 2 pigeons, 1 parrot and 21 pheasants relocated from a home in Springfield to Nevins Farm."
