Ever Been To A Bird Show?

Your parrot(s) will thank you. Imagine all of the toys and food and cages and parrot paraphenalia in the world all in one place. You just can't go to one without buying nice things for your bird. Need advice or just want to gossip about parrots? Imagine hundreds of experts in the same room all willing and eager to share their experiences or advice. It's like a cross between going to the zoo and spending a day at Walmart.

Debra and I don't take our birds to shows. Congos don't handle noisy, crowded rooms very well and it's unfair to take handfeeding babies away from home for the day. Fortunately we don't have to do shows thanks to referrals and the internet.

We have four major shows a year in New Orleans. The first is this weekend and there were never less than 200 visitors in the hotel ballroom from 9 am to 5 pm. Must have been 2000 people through the door today.

The March show usually has very few birds because they don't start laying until February and aren't available until May. This show was crowded with 10-12 week old birds. Good news for breeders and buyers.

Enjoy your weekend...Craig
