I thought that you couldnt export any birds to Australia, perhaps someone else might know?.
I may be wrong.

Re: Exporting Parrots
One day, may be I will understand why people want to keep birds in cages when the self same birds, and better are flying free outside around your home.
It's like keeping polar bears etc in zoos - totally barbaric and should be banned.
Will get off soap box now

Re: Exporting Parrots
I wonder if anyone knows the Environmental Health rules with reference to parrots (rosellas, acutally) - specifically, is it legal to prepare and sell fish and chips to the general public with a parrot sitting on your shoulder, and flying freely around the food preparation area? :scared: Or is that a quaint Aussie custom that doesn't faze anyone else?

p.s. its illegal for cats to be out at night in Brisbane. They have to be locked indoors which is totally unnatural behaviour. Is that barbaric? Step off soapbox.

They are also very difficult to handle. I would never ever have a dingo as a pet, nor a dingo cross. There are several at my local park and they are hideous, anti-social dogs.
