-> ones on the street or pet shops being sold. Also it is my understanding
that
-> withing the quarantene personel there is a bit of black market on these
-> birds. Just to give an example, only about twenty birds were auds.
Birds are permanently banded when they leave OUR local quarantine station....
and anybody who peddles birds "on the side" has broken Federal Law and is
subject to a fairly long visit to the crow-bar hotel himself!
Auctions run to hundreds of birds at the local INS facility.
