I was not asking MOS or any bird club to get involved with this...........it was just a question about whether anyone had experience with this.  Thanks to all for their comments.

Hi Karen:

My feeling is that this would be a good issue for the MOS to stay out of since these are not wild birds. Just like we don't get into issues dealing with pet/caged birds. Since they do mostly all do go home, they really don't seem to impact our native avifauna.

Just my $.02 but I don't want to start a debate about this ...
