Rules & Meeting Manners

Birds enjoy meetings too, but it's a big responsibility! Germs may be airborne or transmitted through droppings or hand-to-hand contact. To protect the health of your bird and those of others, please observe the following regulations:

• You must be a The Parrot Club member for at least 60 days in order to bring a bird to a meeting. Non-members may not bring birds to meetings.

• Flighted birds must be confined to cages or carriers.

• Baby birds do not yet have sufficient immunities; if you must bring a young bird to a meeting, it must be confined to an incubator or other container with solid sides.  You may be asked to leave the bird in an isolated area of the meeting hall.

• Newly acquired birds (birds you have had for less than 60 days).

• Birds that are sick or currently under treatment for illness or injury.

• Birds that have been under treatment for an illness within the past 60 days.

• Birds that have been exposed to sick birds.

• Birds that have been boarded at a pet shop within the past 60 days.

• Birds that have been exhibited in a show within the past 60 days.

• Elderly or immuno-compromised birds.
