Bird sale anouncement Victoria all states ???

Taken from Face book below.
BIRD SALES in Victoria - and Australia.
On her web site “Parrot Productions” the person trying to stop bird sales makes unfounded accusations about the mental health of bird breeders and suggests that we are all only doing it for money:
Here is an excerpt from the web page:
“And I find it unbelievable that breeders, mainly males, prefer to spend time fiddling around in aviaries, rather than enjoy a mentally social life with their spouses, families and friends. It says much for the lack of emotional wellbeing of these bird sellers.
I’m sure their spouses, usually wives, will confirm this.
But it does not let spouses off the hook- they too enjoy the financial benefits of bird selling and birds making expensive babies for their shopping sprees.
Get a real job bird sellers!!! Get a job where you use your own hands and intelligence to earn a living.”
DON'T TAKE THIS LYING DOWN. TIME TO FIGHT BACK

" I attend Bird Sales in Victoria and want them to continue."
Please share this around as many bird sites as possible. Emails need to be sent ASAP
Phone call from Mornington bird club organisers.
Non native birds can no longer be sold at bird sales in Vic. They can be taken to be displayed but any selling on the premises could occur a $4000 fine. I would expect this will have massive implications to people attending sales. This could increase internet sales to people who maynot have the skills to look after the birds they buy.
Non native birds will be in a policed area for display by sellers separate to native birds.You can take as many as you wish but cannot sell them at the sale or premisses. Organisers will look after the birds if need be if you are selling native birds.
Mornington club has been very busy at solicitors etc in the past week and had some options but felt this was the best for what had been thrown at them.
I am sure we will hear more today as information come through.
