Have you heard the recent news?

Pennsylvania had been planning on submitting a proposal that would have banned the ownership of Nanday Conures. Now, I am nowhere near PA nor do I own Nanday Conures, but after the proposal was dropped, out came this one:
This is a bill to ban “wild animals” as pets in Missouri, in which they state that “parrots, parakeets, finches, doves, pigeons, and canaries” are wild animals. This ban would have grandfathered in birds already in possession, but only under certain guidelines and regulations. Thankfully, this bill has been dropped also.
So why am I bringing this up if both of these proposals have been dropped and neither would effect me personally? Because this new hysteria of a “bird flu” threat from domestic birds is stupid, but widespread. (The Nanday Conure ban was not about the “bird flu” hysteria; it was about the concern of wild populations hurting the native wildlife) I don’t think any domestic parrot could survive the harsh winter conditions of Northern Minnesota, but the threat of banning parrots due to the mass hysteria of the “bird flu” virus is real. It can happen anywhere and we as bird-loving people need to be ready to deal with this if anything is ever proposed or, heaven forbid, something like this gets passed. If something like this passed, and I was no longer able to keep my birds, I have no idea what I would do.
