-> I'm amazed that the show organizers allow this stuff to go on any
-> longer. I guess as long as they get their table money, they don't
-> care WHAT you sell. I really wanted to go throttle the old couple who
-> were selling the tiny Sun babies; they were totally oblivious to the
-> dangers to which they were subjecting those babies. And they made a
-> point of telling me that they use the Oxyfresh to clean their
-> syringes...like that's going to help, after the babies have been
-> exposed to who knows what at the shows??? 
I bet they are just totally ignorant of the dangers.  Wish everyone
could read PARROTS every day.  
-> NEXT show I do, I'm asking to be put with all the toy vendors, not
-> near any birds; just so I don't have to watch this stuff go on all
-> day!
I'm not going to any more bird shows.  One was enough- I didn't think I
could get clean enough after that.  Some of the birds I saw were
obviously ill.  It was horrible.  I wonder how many of the others were
after being exposed to the sick ones in a small, enclosed building with
people milling from bird to bird.  You couldn't set up a more favorable
situation for cross-contamination.
