Thank you all for the suggestions i am still looking around for answers. Regarding the unapproved thing, i think it would be alot of help if there was a thread indicating WHY some vendors are banned. So we can understand if it is just because they didn't pay to be accepted or something different like nefarious (however it is spelled) activities. What i am looking for is information, certainly not wanting to step on anybodys toes, but in all the MANY years i've been here i've never run into this roadblock before and its frustrating to be told you can't talk about that person/company and we won't say why, it just isn't as helpful as specifics. Not trying to start a fight just giving my honest feedback
Thanks guys i'm off to look at avian antics and ca bird nerds for ideas.... if you think of anyone else to try let me know
