What is your opinion on this? My understanding is that adult birds can not get it and it is only transmitted orally through eating the feces of an infected bird. Planning for my first show in April in WA and not thinking I need to be overly concerned about this. As a precaution the exhibitors could put plexi-glass panels between the show cages so poop from another bird could not get kicked into your birds show cage.
I agree entirely with what you said. As a show exhibitor type person I'm not concerned. But since it's chick season and there are swap meets coming up, thought it was worth sharing. It's highly highly unlikely any birds in the show will be under the 18 week age which is apparently the oldest this disease can affect.
