Hello all,

Unsure if this is the right place for this thread but ach well give it a go. Ive been recently recommended the Solway bird show which is on early september not to far from me. Im wondering if anyone has been before and what i could expect? Regards to types of birds sold etc tame,breeding pairs etc? And generally is it worth it or better waiting for the stafford show?. Never even came into my mind about bird shows til i got chatting to birdy people. Thank you for all replies and advice :)

Rio (Yellow sided conure) sadly no longer with us
All I ever hear about is the Stafford bird show. I'm thinking of going next year if I haven't found myself a companion by then, who knows you may bump into some people from here if you go

The down side to bird shows is that all sorts of communicable diseases can be spread, with such a large concentration of birds in one relatively small space. Any birds bought should go through a strict 30 day quarantine and the clothes you wear to such an event should be washed as soon as you get home.

No, I've never been to a bird show in the UK, but the precautions should always be the same.

Fly free Plum, my gorgeous boy.
The Stafford Show is run by the Parrot Society and although I have not been lately have heard that there have not been many parrots, more the smaller birds.

Perhaps a call will give you some info if it is worth the travel.
