A day with the Birds.

The Motor City Bird Breeders Club held their semi-annual bird expo on Saturday October 13th and Warren Woods Veterinary Hospital was there to represent.  We arrived at 8:40 am for set up with the doors opening at 10:00.  We spent the day at our table prominently placed near the front of the hall and experienced the company of many interesting people and their birds.  Some of our clients were in attendance and we enjoyed catching up with them and hearing their bird stories.  The show hosts many bird related groups and vendors.   Bird breeders, rescue groups, wholesalers and retailers are all in attendance.  

 At the Warren Woods Veterinary Hospital table Nicole, Beth and myself spent the day helping bird buyers and owners gather health and veterinary information for their feathered pets.  We had many informational brochures for bird owners and healthy bird food, supplements and toys for purchase.   Our friend Darlene and Chirping Friends supplied the toys called "Birdie Bangles" for use to offer to the patrons.  The toys that Darlene offers are so creative and cute and we were happy to promote them for her. 

We were surrounded by beautiful birds and were able to talk to their keepers and breeders. We admired the beautiful canaries at the table next to us (Nicole almost bought one) and saw some rare pied parrotlets that were so cute.  I found a jewelry vendor (I love jewelry) and bought a couple beautiful bird necklaces.  We ended up spending more money than we took in, but we were happy to be there to talk to all of the bird people.   The next show will be held in April, so check with our Facebook page and we will let you in on the details so you can join us there.  We love the Motor City Bird Breeders Expo and I know you will too.
