Bird Fair in Atlanta!!!!

[LoveMyBeak]

Hey folks, in two weeks on the 10th and 11th of May there is an Exotic Bird fair in Atlanta, go to birdfairs.net for more info.

I wonder if it is ok to bring my conure Stimpy along.........LMB

Please don't do that. There are TOO many things your bird can pick up at a fair. All those other birds, breeders, and other people have been in touch with their birds, and you NEVER know what they are carrying, remember if a bird is sick you can't tell. If you want your bird to stay health then don't ever get them around birds or bird people, that you don't know.

I agree 100% and if you buy ANYTHING disinfect the crap out of it before you give it to your FID. You should even take a shower and change your clothes before doing anything with your bird. You just can't be to cautious when it comes to a possible deadly illness being brought home..
