Computerbabe Posted August 23, 2008 Report Share Posted August 23, 2008 No You can not import but can export parrots and many different things has well ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Posted August 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2008 I was after someone who had birds, certain breeds. I had offers in Germany. You can export anything aslong as its not native. Or if its on CITES get all the documents together. He backed out of his side so deal was off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Posted August 23, 2008 Report Share Posted August 23, 2008 Looking in NZ for parrots(With the exception of the native ones) is like going to a LAN party to pick up hot chicks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alanmin4304 Posted August 23, 2008 Report Share Posted August 23, 2008 Correct me if I am wrong but I think you need to prove by DNA testing that the Ausie parrots were bred in NZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Posted August 23, 2008 Report Share Posted August 23, 2008 Correct me if I am wrong but I think you need to prove by DNA testing that the Ausie parrots were bred in NZ Prove to who for what and why? And how would DNA testing prove where a parrot was bred unless there's a library full of all the breeding parrots in NZ, which there isn't?

alanmin4304 Posted August 23, 2008 Report Share Posted August 23, 2008 I think you have to prove that "this pair" are the parents of "this bird" and that they have not been smuggled into NZ for export (as was very fashionable not long ago) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barrie Posted August 23, 2008 Report Share Posted August 23, 2008 when I looked at importing Cockys and correllas from Oz they all had to have life rings on them... Life rings are placed on the leg at normall a week to 2 weeks old and cant be placed after that as the legs grow too big and wont go over the padding on the feet. I would guess that the same regulations would be in force here to export Its not too hard to set up a breeding coloney of cockys mind you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted August 23, 2008 Report Share Posted August 23, 2008 Some people made a packet smuggling Ausie parrots to NZ then legally exporting to USA and I think that is what they were trying to stop. They are pretty hard to get out of Ausie I think even though they shoot the buggers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barrie Posted August 23, 2008 Report Share Posted August 23, 2008 Now days its hard as newcastles desease has made all birds baned from being imported from Oz I have heard rumors of back door birds arriving again now which is very dangerous. I started importing racing pigeons legally to stop this years ago. At that stage, we could export from Oz, native parrots that had been bred in captivity provided they had life rings on them therefore proving that they had been bred in captivity. The problem I had was in getting breeders to belive that I was serious in wanting to import here to sell. I never got as far as to apply for an import permit here but I belive I could have work through that. One breeder over there couldnt stop laughing when I offered him $400 Oz for the cockys Cockys are breeding here in 3 locations that I am aware of and a guy I know, gets a few every year as young to sell on by climbing the trees at night wearing an coat made from coal sacks worn over a thick plastic rain coat and still he comes out with scars and bite marks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
