Our Parrots are not Norwegian Blues, they are U.S. citizens ..2 are democrats and 1 is a Republican but he claims he did'nt vote for Bush but i dont believe him. As far as the Flu, i cant tell. Have you ever tried to get a rectal thermometer up somethings butt that has a can opener attached to his face? Really, they are 1 african grey and 2 small conures and i dont believe the avain flu should be a factor, they havent been out of our house in 10 years.
