Around Australia with a Budgie
(Preview)
we have a tame budgie and no one available to look after him when we go on our travels. Is there any problems with travelling between states at the borders. I did hear that someone had to hand in some bird seed they were carrying to feed the wild birds, so not sure. Thanks in advance.
