        Thanks for all the info... Just got done reading an article
      in "Bird Talk" about PBFD... said the same thing, that only the
      young babies are at risk... the older ones should be okay.
      About your babies: we went to a local and very small bird
      show in April. I was shocked to see one vendor with actual
      incubators full of baby birds... cockatoos, macaws, Amazons,
      etc., not even feathered out yet. Why in the world would some-
      one bring a fortune in birdies into an environment like that?
      Needless to say, we all washed and changed clothes when we
      got home; but it sure makes you leery about going to any more
      bird shows! How do you sell yours?
