New Hampshire Lawmakers Vote to Legalize Quaker Parrots

Possessing a Quaker Parrot has long been illegal in New Hampshire, but in a surprising move, the NH House of Representatives has voted to allow both the possession and sale of the birds in the state. As reported by BirdChannel.com, the bill, #651, now moves to the Senate. The surprising legislation was prompted by the very public outcry against a decision earlier this year by the New Hampshire Fish & Game Department to begin enforcing a long standing rule banning the parrots, which enraged and mobilized many who keep these amusingly intrepid birds as companions.
