Pet birds are rapidly gaining in popularity in the United States. By some estimates, 15 percent of households in the United States have pet birds. When purchasing an imported hook billed bird, check for the circular stainless-steel, USDA-approved leg band that is engraved with three letters and three numbers. This band is your assurance of a legally imported bird. When your purchase healthy birds, you are getting a companion who can live 50 or more years (some pet birds have been reported to live to be over 100).
