For those who are not yet aware, there’s an app that allows you to easily report to the local council those things that need attention, litter, mess, broken street furniture etc.

its great in that you can photograph the offensive item concerned and it goes directly to the department for action and then you can easy send a follow up request if nothing gets done.

so if you see something and want improvements to be made, download the app and take proactive action 😉…

its called ‘Linea Verde smart city’ 👍

Hi All

New to this site and to the Costa Blanca.

My family and I have recently purchased an apartment in Villamartin and was wondering if anyone within the forum could offer any recommendations for airport transfers. Just need a reliable firm at a competitive price.

Thanks in advance.

My WIFI/ internet/FM/DAB Pinell Supersound II radio went silent few weeks ago

and I could not find anyone to see/fix it. I can get the stations on my mobile, but is not the same!

I suspect it was programmed (just after 5 years warranty), but it was the best radio ever, so I would like to try before I have to take it back home.

Hi everyone,

Although I highly agree with the new animal welfare legislation, it's been a long time coming... I've got issues with the blanket ban on all non-native parrots. Just to be clear, I am solely a pet owner of 2 male small parrots (different species) which are not on the previous ban list of 2007 to 2022).  I am not a breeder or pet store owner.  I agree there are serious issues with Monks and Ringnecks but this problem started in the 70s when some of these birds escaped or were let go - nobody knows for sure. The Government should have dealt with this problem then and not 50 years later when the birds have bred out of control (I wouldn't want to live downtown Madrid either).  So now even if you have a little beloved budgie, you may have a problem down the road.

At this time, the new legislation covers all birds, which are not native to Spain.  The government, from what I understand, has 48 months to prepare a detailed list of specific bird breeds or entirety to be banned from the country.  Will the birds already in Spain be grand-fathered into the legislation?  I wish I had all the answers.

Does anyone know of a PARROT CLUB within the Valèncian Community or Alicante Community or Spain in general? I will keep looking or start one myself.  Just think of how many pet birds may be destroyed or actually let go because the owners can't rehome them in another country?  This would be an even worse problem; or try to give the bird up to a shelter, which they can't rehome. I'm not sure the politicians really thought this legislation through or just don't care.  General election is coming up and the ban might appease the population in larger cities, not thinking of the pet bird owner population in said cities.  I'm all for licensing my birds even to microchip them like my dogs.  I wonder if anyone thought of this? Let me know.

Finally, to all the pet bird parents out there, please feel free to contact me so we can have a voice against the prosecution of innocent birds. If you work in a shelter or veterinarian clinic, please contact me here so we may discuss this matter further.

Thanks to all.

Julie
