Yeah well, unfortunately, most people still think all snakes are venomous or 30 ft monsters. So they think that by letting a garter snake into the building, they're putting all the residents at risk. So it's understandable. Wrong, but understandable.

I found the ad and it just says the bird and cage are going for $1. They have a baby on the way and won't have time to care for the bird. It's a five-year-old female, doesn't talk (which I don't really care about) and loves to cuddle. I'm going to talk to mom about it tonight, and if all goes well, I'll go over to see the bird in person before I take her.
