Some silly person ("nice" for real words I would like to use) in need of a cause, and trying to sell a book. Get a life lady! I wonder if she has any pets? Hmm ... besides I think that Mr. Obama is gonna have enough on his plate to be worrying about besides such silly opinionated issues as this.

As well, did anyone see MSN news this A.M. The Porn industry is seeking a 5 Billion dollar federal bailout. You have got be kidding me... right? If our country answers this call, I AM MOVING!

In point everybody wants to be heard. If we were not Exotic Bird owners this saituation probably would just pass most of us by with little to no concern.

I do agree that there should be some regulations taken to ensure that proper care starts with the Breeders and Pet Shops. I do believe that there is an over-breeding issue in this country, which plays a huge part in the fact that there seems to be just as many rescue, foster and sanctuaries for exotic birds as there are Pet Stores and Breeders that profit off of the sale of them. Maybe owners should have to have a license, just as we do to have a dog or cat in certain cities. Do I think that anyone has the right to tell me that I cant keep my birds any longer... dare try it!

Just my opinion.
