I'm really getting bummed seeing so many people opt out of coming.
And, it appears more people are now opting out due to the potential of birds being brought to the picnic vs not "being able" to.
I, too, have made arrangements to get my girls from Wynette at a later date (we made this decision long before the quarantine).
My interpretation (again, this is my interpretation, not trying to start a debate or be argumentative) of the recent MDARD quarantine is that no birds should be at the event (whether considered public or private).
That aside, if we, as a group, decided NO BIRDS; would more people change their decision to attend?
For me personally, it is the getting together & visiting in person with the members we spend the year virtually "talking" to that has made the event so special....
