Sure seems that its about time to split this group.  Traffic is high
enough to warrant it I bet and it just hasn't worked well to have
people use keywords in their subject lines to aid kill files.  More
and more often I just "catch up" on all the postings because I get
tired of sifting through all the birds-as-pets postings, and likely
the pet owners feel the same.

I don't have the energy to do anything official like call for votes
or discussion, but I'd suggest that either a rec.birding get created
for those who prefer to observe birds or a rec.pets.birds for those
who perfer to own them.  Or both, and blow off rec.birds.
