I have been wondering the same thing. Even if you
quarantine a bird in the house - wouldn't any air-bourne
stuff get to the other birds anyway? What about getting a
bird from a reputable pet store, bird store or breeder?
What if you take the bird to the vet before bringing it home?

I've been in bird stores where they will let other birds in
to socialize with the new member of the family before taking
him home.

Mercedez, it's not too clear to me either.
