Birds for sale and wanted in Canada

frank_lap_127,

My suggestion to you as far as trying to sell in the U.S. to a repetuable buyer, or if you are looking for a seller in the U.S.  You would be best of to look for a Broker to handle all paperwork either on your end, either as purchaser or seller, and enlist your agent/broker to also handle it on the other end (U.S.). This way all the problems and aggravations is done by someone else, and the deal goes smoothy.

Here is a U.S. Dept of C.D.C. link: http://www.cdc.gov/Ncidod/dq/faq_animal_importation.htm

Steeve,
First of all thank you very much for the links, I'll read this. Like I said I don't sell for the moment and I'm not sure I'll begin as for the moment I can hatch enough chicks to get my money. I'm not a buisness, I'm only doing this for my own little pleasure so the money I'll earn will be to put on my birds installation.

For the importation, in fact it's really hard to get the birds, I'll try to do my best.

Thanks!

Frank

Frank,

It would be interesting to visit the website where you read the information if you happen to think of it.

By the way, I visited your website and see that you give cranberry sauce, horseradish, and curry powder to your birds four times a year to clean out their nasal holes and intestines. How do you provide this to your birds?

Bobhunter,
The idea comes from Resolution on GBWF Forum, but it's possible that you'll find modifications. It's really easy, first of all, you just have to buy freezed cranberries. You put your bags in a pan (how many? it depends on how much sauce you want) with a little bit of water (50 mL). You just have to cook them until the cranberries ''explode''. After this, you'll have somehting looking like a red paste, DON'T ADD SUGAR (like in the conventionnal recipe for human). After this, you had the spices with the quantities writted on my website (I don't know them by heart, sorry, but I think it's 2 Horseradish tablespoons, 1 curry tablespoon, 2 DE tablespoon). Mix it really well, before to put the DE, taste your mix, to be sure it's not just too spicy. If it's too spicy, add more cranberry sauce.

After this, I mix whole seeds with this and put this in a dish and normally, my birds will LOVE it. It has worked perfectly for me, I don't guarantee you anything but it has been a success. Remember one thing, it's better to be less spicy than too much so always taste it, it's not suppose to taste good, but it's suppose to work.

If you have more questions you can send me an e-mail
