There were many vendors at The Parrot Festival. I asked each one if he took his toys to bird marts. Only one did. Unfortunately, I have bought toys from him for my birds and for Wanda's birds. It was Ronnie from Star Bird. I told him that I loved his toys but I could not buy them because of the risk of disease. His toys were all shreddables that could not be disinfected.
Here is the problem I see - how do I know everyone was telling me the truth. I don't go to bird marts, but I don't want to buy a toy (that can't be disinfected with a good viral disinfectant) if the toy maker takes his toys to bird marts.
Why don't we make a list of toy makers who go to bird marts. We don't have to say anything positive or negative. Just make the list and share it with each other. Would those of you who go to bird marts be willing to report in on which toy makers were there?
