I wonder if the Macaw is building his credit to be able to purchase an upgraded cage?

Don't cosign for that bird, mate. She'll leave you high and dry.

My bird must have better credit than my dogs. The dogs never received credit cards in the mail.

But that is what makes me think they look at date of birth. My dogs are minors so they wouldn't qualify.

Age discrimination. Your dogs should sue.

Hey, your dogs could pull the old "order 12 tapes for 99 cents and promise to buy so many more over so many years" dodge that kids used to do, just try with a credit card.

Can't hold kids to a contract, after all.

McGruff the crime dog might be angry though...

Disclaimer: It's a joke.

Either that or it is your vet but that makes even less sense since that would only be the names of pets and credit card companies are looking for humans, not animals.

One more reason to hate Walmart.
I know it isn't my vet, he writes pet prescriptions for the pet and my last name. It is the pharmacy that changes it to "Bird Macaw Mollie" and "Dog Collie Smokey." I think they put dog or bird in the name on the prescription so I can't turn it to my health insurance.

Minority or age of consent are not deemed to be discriminatory in a legal sense.

Did you give her a copy of your Christmas list? I haven't read the other posts yet but I can't help but think the pharmacy should not be selling a list of its customers, feathered or otherwise.

Try explaining that heartworm prescription to the health insurance.

In strictly human terms yes. but if you are the member of a species that matures faster than humans do the it would be discriminatory.
