tom123 Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 Never heard of that before! Have never had to insure my birds when I take them to shows. Will have a look over the schedules and entry forms to see if it says anything though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Egluntyne Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 It is in Ireland so presumably different rules apply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 Sorry Josh, bit of a drama at home this evening.. I would say its just so that if your birds are injured, damaged by someone or stolen that the show wont accept responsibility so you would need to have insurance of your own in place - personally I dont have insurance for my birds at shows, I would just cover the costs of any problems myself You could phone the secretary of the show and ask, they are always happy to answer quuestions and encourage people to come to the show Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
