So Hoss,
what you are saying is we can get a great deal on some 'used' Blemish/SubStandard cages?
I dont get what the OP is trying to allow folks to avoid with his change-
isnt it just putting the bird in the air even once prior to going public?
Even a secret design contestant could do that out at the corner of Nowhere St & Desolation Ave in BLM land.
Is this a proposal to change the rules
just so folks dont have to simply put the bird up at any point before a public flight?
It dont matter too much to me,
he wants to exempt all my 2/60 scratched e-abominations as Safe by definition
regardless of them being designed & built by some drunken lunatic (me

)
