That reminds me. I'm sure I've seen somewhere, I think
in the context of rabies prevention rules, that one should
not bring any live "animal or bird" into the country. Evidently
they are using a non-standard definition of "animal" which
excludes members of the avian family, since the standard
one would render the addition of "or bird" redundant.
It's clear this was done to ward off certain clever-clogs
who would claim it's not against the rules to bring in a
parrot because *their* definition of "animal" is "mammal"
(confirmed by a dictionary), and hence excludes birds.

Evidently. Perhaps they don't carry rabies.

Really? Birds do, but reptiles don't?
That's interesting. Having evolved from dinosaurs, birds are
usually more like reptiles (than like mammals) in most things...
