As far as the possibility of contracting this avian flu thing, my wife works at one of those well known chain/franchise pet stores. They bring in ALOT of birds, none of which can they attest for the breeders environment or isolation form their local wild birds. She believes that all of the "big" exotic birds have to be captive born and bred in the U.S. They are all leg banded. She has even gotten her coworkers on the OH S$@T bandwagon...... They are kept pretty uptodate through some sort of .gov and people-who-love-and-have-too-many-damn-critters network...
