One of them is just 10 years old and the other I think the lady said is 36 years old. Pretty risky letting $10,000 birds fly around like that. Still it's an amazing sight.

LOL I know what you mean about hoping one will fly to your place. We've had Budgies, Lovies & an Indian Ringneck fly in here. I'm so waiting on the day a Macaw - Preferably a Hyacinth will fly on in....
I'm usually really good about putting up lost notices...It may just slip my mind the day a Hyacinth flys in lol.

Haha yeah Mark I know, prices are so different due to our closed door policy on imports and exports. We should be exporting potential pest species such as Sulphur Crests, Corellas, Twenty Eights and Rainbow Lorikeets rather than killing them!! Would make the government some more money for thier overseas trips and such.....

Aviculture in both countrys would benefit from the Aussie Government allowing the Export of birds such as the ones you mentioned Matt and then the USA exporting to Australia, Caiques, Greys, Macaws, Pionus Hawkheads etc etc.

I agree, it would strengthen the gene pools and ensure their stablility in aviculture.

It would benefit the birds and bird keepers alike and if done right the government could make a bit of money from the import/export licences not that I want to give them MORE money but it's the only way to get through to them
