And you were right!

People should keep their little germ machines at home. Bird poop smells. Although they might not say anything, lots of customers are skeeved by birds.

Birds From Dealer, PetSmart Quarantined

Bacterial Disease Could Affect Humans

ATLANTA -- Officials have quarantined birds from a Florida dealer and 35 PetSmart stores in Georgia after an outbreak of a bacterial disease that could affect humans.
The Georgia state Department of Agriculture said two confirmed cases of avian chlamydiosis have been reported. The bacteria affects parakeets and other parrots.
Once passed to humans, it is called psittacosis.
Georgia agriculture commissioner Tommy Irvin said stores are required to move the birds away from customers and feed the animals medicated food for the next 45 days.
Irvin says Preferred Birds, which is based in Florida, has also had confirmed cases of bacteria.
Humans who catch the illness may experience fever, chills, headaches, muscle aches, and a dry cough. The disease can be treated with antibiotics.

If you're one of the 2 or 3 salons in the country with a beach/tropical theme wouldn't a flock of seagulls in the salon be appropriate?

Keep the bird at home. I have to be honest...I am deathly afraid of birds, when i was younger a person told me their bird was nice...I go to hold the little BasTerd and it bit me. Ever since then I am terrified of their beaks, and their claws. If I go into a house with a bird living there I will do everything in my power to stay out of that room. If I was a paying client...I would be angry to be honest and most likely would ask you to take the bird out or I am taking my money elsewhere. Not to mention the cleanliness of a bird, and too much of a liability, you say your birds nice, but what happens if some one gets bit or scratched, that opens such a liability...I wouldnt even want to chance it. NOT WORTH IT!

I've had my Blue front amazon parrot in my businesses since 1987. She is my namesake and very well mannered. Like all birds, they are dirty and require constant clean-up. My parrot is not locked in her cage and never goes in the cage. I have one customer that is afraid of the bird, but I put her in a bed not close to the the parrot. I also have a small dog that is at the salon with me all day. If I, for some reason, don't bring Sadie to the salon, my customers are looking for her. If I didn't have my parrot, I wouldn't have Parrot Bay.

Check you state regulations ~ it may not have to be a 'fight' or 4 pages long after all
