If you're reading this, you probably own some kind of pet bird. And you may know there's a law currently being proposed to Congress that would seriously threaten your right to do that in the future, or even take your current birds to another state or allow them to breed -- even common pets owned by generations of American kids like hamsters and aquarium fish are under the gun, all in the name of protecting America from "invasive non-native species."

The bill, HR 669, will be heard in committee on Thursday, April 23 -- just two days from now!

Right now, this very minute, you need to take action. Go to:
