I may have to re-think. A quote from the airlines was almost $1,000 to fly 5 geese and that's just to Honolulu and I'd still need to get them from there to the Big Island.

Anyone brought any birds to The Big Island recently? Were you able to get airport release for them? State website says birds must go through Honolulu, but it says that about dogs, too, and dogs can get airport release in Kona.

I've done a search for poultry shows in Hawaii and haven't found any. Are there any poultry shows? How about fairs with exhibition poultry?

This guinea grass that apparently is attempting to conquer Hawaii, is it something that geese can eat? I'm hearing that all you need to do to have a guinea grass pasture is to stop battling it. If the geese can eat it, then I'd be happy to have it.

How big a threat are the mongooses? Is there a limit to the size of their prey? Do I have to worry about them concerning my geese and turkeys? I'm suspecting that fencing mongooses out would be a real pain. They look like they could fit through a keyhole.

It looks easy enough to bring the geese to Hawaii. A lot less complicated and cheaper than bringing the dogs. The process for the dogs has to start at least a year before moving; lots of precise timing involved. The geese get blood work and then have to be in a mosquito-proof pen until...

I got myself a fold out paper map of Hawaii. You can sure tell where the rain is. The Northeast corner is covered in rivers. The rest of the island, not so much. Is that the direction the wind usually comes from? That would affect where the vog settles. It doesn't look like it would be...

Yes, I will visit and see how the vog affects me. Real estate market is picking up a bit here and i am hoping I can finally sell my house. I don't think any of the other islands would work for me. They are much more expensive and seem to be much more tourist oriented. I'd rather live around...

Politely requesting some advice from any of you who live on The Big Island. How far away do you have to get from the volcano before air quality isn't an issue? What's a good area to look in for a little house on 1/2 acre to 5 acres where poultry is permitted and house prices aren't up there in...
