Dear Bird Talk: For a number of years, we have attended and enjoyed the Prince Edward Island picnic held annually at Fort DeSoto Park in Florida. We understand that the Canadian Snowbird Association, and we believe Medipac Travel Insurance, sponsor this fun day (and other provincial picnics), so we are writing to you regarding a […]

Dear Bird Talk, This is the e-mail I sent to the Flag Expert and his answer to me. I was questioning the combination Canadian and American flag. I think your readers will find this interesting. “I am a Canadian who lives in Florida for the winter. Some Canadians in our park are flying flags that […]

Dear Bird Talk, I have recently become a member. I don’t know how to get any of the information I require. 1. Should I get a U.S. Visa and bank account? 2. How do I find locations popular for Canadian snowbirds? 3. Where do I pose questions such as the above? Othello from Ontario Response: […]
