Thanks for the info Mr. G I was wondering what exactly was going on. Apparently the stores here in the Portland area are taking precautions as well. Keep us updated on any more info. | |||||||||||||||||||||||

| Re: Heads Up Thank you for this info .. I hadnt heard this yet. Im not far from Spokane  , however, we stopped taking the birds to pet stores years ago when the avian flu broke out. Its just not worth the risk. I dont handle birds at pet stores, it makes me sad to see them there. We are currently in the process of taking all the birds in for their yearly check-ups and bloodwork ... I'll feel better when thats all taken care of.  | |||||||||||||||||||||
