Abstract
The A.F.A. Feral Exotic Bird Retrieval
Program continues its work in cooperation
with the California Department of
Food and Agriculture. The purpose of the
program is to recapture escaped aviary
birds, the main emphasis being on the
recapture of Indian Ringnecks, Nanday
Conures and Canary-Win ged Bee Bees. If
the program is successful, the State of
California will continue to allow possession
of these birds. If the program is not
successful, the State may prohibit their
possession , as is already the case with
several species. The program is in a trial
period which is due to be reviewed in
June, 1976.
