EK>Cherane, I'm getting there. I did NOT want to bring my birds to the sale 
last
EK>month. I wanted to bring a photo album with their pictures instead. I came 
this
Hmmmm.....l don't recall you wanting to  take the album.  At least now
you know how serious this type of marketing is to the Psittacines and
the Aviary/Nursery.
EK>close to leaving them home and doing exactly that. I guess I haven't been
EK>scared enough yet. But I'd also like to see Dr. Ritchie refuse to speak at
EK>shows as a vote of support to eliminate them. I think THAT idea would get 
the
EK>point across!
I dont' think he has anything to do with you or I taking care of our babies.
He NEEDS to attend these Shows/affairs.  He does not have a thing to worry
about as he has a CAT for his pet.  This is not a black or white 
decision as I do know there is a need for the shows, only if birds 
are left out 
of the buildings/automobiles.  This should be a law...and the same for
raffles...NO MORE RAFFLES.
By the way, I quoted you for the Ritchie quote of  " where there are 
more then fifty birds there is Polyoma". 
I never heard Ritchie give this infomation.
.....and I only said it once, following your note with the quote.  Sorry
I guess I should of quoted you....smile
 
EK>If we insist on having shows, I think we ought to consider only admitting
EK>vaccinated birds into the halls. That's a start anyway.
Yes, it does seem you do insist on having shows.  However,
..Beak and Feather is going out the door as Ritchie told
me but still many other viruses and contagious bacterias out lurking for
our feathered kid.  What we need is a zapping machine for all little
dangerous bugs to be zapped as a bird walks in the door. Really, the
market of having birds together as in the past is out with new and
better times for us and our birds.
My Mikeee enjoyed his favorite walk yesterday and he avoided all the
trees.  He loves to run after me with his head outstretched as a 
duck running after something.  He does get a wash with his feet 
in mind before he is brough into the house.  After two years of this
he is yet to get sick from another bird....
I think we can get a lot of great information with speakers, cages
and the likes for birds and birdie people at shows/affairs.
Lets keep the rolling without surgical sexing too.
Cherane, CAS
