    The (informational) bird number game!!!

    So basically how you play this, is you answer a question each day (day 1= question 1 and so forth). You can do multiple birds of course! Hopefully in a little while there will be a nice collection of bird stuff! This is also a way you can make sure you and others are caring for their/your birds...

    Buying a galah from Australia?

    Hello, this is a CRAZY idea but, I was wondering if it is legal if I were to take plane tickets to Australia, buy a bird/galah there, and fly me, and the bird back to the USA. Does anyone know if that is somehow allowed? Thanks, Gracelyn. :)
