Opps, one thing I didn't say.  Excellent!  Someone got caught sumggling birds.
I also wish that the public were more aware of what a smuggled birds is and
what to look for.  "Gee, I wonder why this usually $1200 bird is selling for
$200 and the guy says he can get me any bird I want, yuck yuck, why should
I pay more for the silly thing??!"  Ergh, this line of reasoning really makes
me mad.  They just don't realize that a smuggled bird will cost less most
of the time than a quarentined or domestic bird.  Sigh.--
