Quarantine procedures

Post by Wintersong » Wed May 11, 2011 5:17 pm

Hi all! I am wondering if I can get some opinions on quarantine procedures such as how long everyone keeps new birds seperated, & what they treat for & with to prevent illness, parasites etc. Thanks!

Thanks everyone for your input! I know some people do things differently so I was wondering what procedures most people follow.
