Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

question re: possible rare bird
Hello, I have just found out that I may have an australian turquoise parrot (grass parakeet) which is considered a threatened bird. A friend gave it to me as it was found outdoors as a hatchling and dropped off at the vet where she worked. I have had it about 2 years but based on pics and discussions from another bird forum I believe it is this threatened species. Does anyone know or recommend who I can get in touch with about positively identifying it and possibly getting it into a breeding program or something? I have not heard back from the local avian vet I contacted. Thanks. email me at imalonso@msn.com

I actually used to raise scarlet chested parakeets which are a very close relative to the turquoisines. I'm familiar with them, so if you wanted to post a picture here I'd be able to help you out. Last I heard both the scarlets and the turquoisines were pretty hard to find in the US now, and there are legal restrictions on owning them in some states. I'll post the info if I can find it sometime soon.
