1. Katrina took all of my outdoor fowl. But I imagine inside birds won't... |
|
be at risk, since they're inside and not at risk of contracting the disease from other birds.

2. If I still had my aviaries outside... |
|
with hundreds of exotics, I'd be sweating nails.

groomer I know to be groomed.
This establishment has decades of experience and buys from only the absolute top breeders. Plus, the place is spotless.
So far there precious little info for aviary keepers and bird lovers, but I keep looking.
Edit: He's a scaredy-boid anyway and really doesn't like to be outside, strange as it seems.

4. I was wondering the same thing |
|
We have a turtle dove. So as long as she doesn't come into contact with other birds she'll be ok? What will happen to all the wild flocks? I wonder how many we will lose.
