Yeah... in the end, I would like to see it outlawed to keep birds as pets, but, it's important to have a safe situation to transition the birds that exist now.
I think the sensible thing is not to outlaw keeping birds, but, outlaw breeding (and importing, though, I think that already is outlawed) for pet trade... which means that people allowed to keep the birds they have now, in safe homes, but, there won't be more. That makes most sense to me.
