Just a side note...If you buy a bird from a bird show/fair,
please take the bird to yoru Avian vet ASAP for blood work, etc,
and keep the bird strictly quarantined from any existing birds
for at least 30 days.

Of course, this should be done regardless of where you purchase
your bird, but when you buy from a "show" the chances may be
higher of a bacterial infection, etc...simply based on the shear
number of birds at the place.

I have been to many, and am constantly surprised at the
venders/breeders that allow any yutz to walk up and touch their
birds without even rubbing the sanitizer into their hands, right
after they have just handled another venders birds! I have went
to far as to ask about sanitizer (if I don;t see any) jsut to see
what their reply will be, and have bene told, oh, it's "OK"...UGH
