    We are moving to Erlanger next week and really hoping to have some BYCs! Hoping to find others in Erlanger who can help me figure out the city ordinances about BYCs.

    Erlanger, KY?

    I'm guessing you got an answer to this question? We are moving to Erlanger in about a week, and we are very hopeful that we will be able to have birds. I'd love to hear what you've learned, because I can't figure out anything online.
