One Austin, Texas parrot owner learned a valuable lesson about buying and selling parrots over the internet.
As NBC affiliate KXAN reported:
Q. We are moving to Kauai, HI this December; I understand the State's quarantine restrictions/requirements; however, these are for dogs and cats. I am looking for information about my birds... is there a quarantine for importing birds into the state of Hawaii? -- Jennifer G., Romeo, MI
A. Hello Jennifer,
I came across a great new site today called Animaland, which is run by the ASPCA. It's designed for kids and young adults, helping them sort through the important issues of pet rescue, pet adoption and caring for animals humanely.
A new species of bird has been found in Laos - the aptly named Bare Faced Bulbul.
Cute or not cute? One of my coworkers thinks the bird looks like "skeksis" from the movie the Dark Crystal.
If you're a parrot owner considering a move to a new home, the concern over possibly losing your parrot if he were to escape is always a worry in the back of your mind. A new website, 911 Parrot Alert, is using the internet to create an international database to help bird owners find their precious "fids," (feathered-kid) if they're lost or stolen.
