Can I sell my birds back to the store? I bought them for my niece but she is no longer in my household and they miss her, and we have no room to put them, i just want them to be safe and have a better life than what we are providing for them

Most pet stores will not "buy" back animals. Each one may have a different policy, so you would need to contact the store directly and speak with a manager. Contact the local humane society and ask if they have any people looking to adopt a bird. You can do the same with local veterinary clinics. If there is an avian vet nearby, contact them or check the office bulletin board. There may be options there.
