-> Directly across from me was another older couple selling VERY YOUNG
-> baby Sun conures. Less than a week old, eyes not even open yet. I
-> know that they sent at least one of them home in a cardboard box with
-> new owners. They were NOT selling handfeeding formula or syringes to
-> accompany the babies. They also had some unweaned Senegals, one
-> mostly feathered, two mostly naked. They sold the oldest one, who was
-> still barely mobile and on at least 4 feedings a day. Again, no
-> supplies accompanied the baby when it left them.
Kathy,
  I'm shuddering here along with you.  WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?????
This is not just stupidity, it's animal cruelty.  It seems to me that
people should have to prove themselves to be knowledgable bird breeders
to sell birds in these shows.  If art shows can restrict exhibitors, why
couldn't bird shows, with lives of birds at stake, not do likewise?
Behavior like you described should result in some disciplinary measures.
                                                        TTYL, Jan
