I am not sure how the appeal process works if someone is unhappy with our determination. Any rebuttals sent back to our office are handled by my supervisor. I know that some passenger's have used our determinations in private legal actions against the carriers.

I'm interested in whether or not you found if an airline can require birds brought on-board to be caged?

I believe that we would permit a carrier to require a bird to be caged as a condition of carriage.
