The main difference is that at CFC sales, buyers and sellers must use cages with the base, top, and three sides covered / enclosed. If sellers or buyers bring unsuitable cages, then they will have to enclose the cage on the top and three sides with paper, cardboard, ply, coreflute or simuilar or alternatively take the unsuitable cage, with birds, away.
Also be aware of the number of birds in a cage. We do not want any overcrowding.
