Komer,  Great looking cages.  Just what is that in the middle of your cages?  It kind of looks like it could be some sort of Parrot.  Hope you catch that there varmint that's been killing your birds.
By the way just where is Croatia at in this world we live in?

[komer]

hehe...parrots are not interesting to me...like just gamebirds:)
Croatia is in Europe,near Italy,Slovenia,Hungary,Bosnia.....Adriatic Sea:)

Komer,  Thanks for the reply,  At least I now have a good idea in what part of this old world you live in.  Hope everything works out for you in the gamebird world.

Hi there komer!

Sorry to here about the predators. That seems to be part of life in this business. Nice cage

What is the hot wire going to the cage? It looks like jumper cables.. Never mind, it is the ground cable from your buzz box.(welder)

komer,

What are the requirements regarding the importation of either wild game birds or domesticated? Also do you have any rules and regulations that you have to abide by, and are there any inspections or tests H5N1?

I had noticed in the WHO publication that there was only 1 case of the Avian Influenza, 21 October 2005.  That Croatia's first reports H5N1 in wild birds (migratory swans). H5N1 Continues to be reported in wild birds on routine surveillance, through April 2006. Was this anywhere located by you?

There hasn’t been any cases since then to date. Is this correct?

Oh, and for those interested for the U.S.,

14 August 2006 USA detects LPAI H5N1 in wild Mute Swans in Michigan.
02 September 2006 USA detects LPAI H5N1 in wild ducks in Pennsylvania and Maryland.
