GAG!
Get African Greys in Western Australia is just something silly I made up!
But do you think it should be legal to own african greys in Western Austalia?
I think it is because
1. They are legal in other parts of Aust
2. The reason they are not legal in WA is because one escaped in europe somewhere and survived! I mean, who would let a grey out, and if they did, it is hardly likely they would make a worse impact (the 2 birds) than all the lorries and other parrot pest in WA!
3. I have heard that there are some here illegally anyway! make it legal so we know where they are and how they are housed!
4. They look like greta birds! ;D

I'd want to modify your "Union" to get the laws for birds universal ie licensing and keeping as an australian body not by state, and for all animals not just birds.
As a person who has to move a lot it is very difficult to keep up with the times, as QLD QPWS who do the licenses and movements etc don't know their head from their butt when it comes to THEIR laws. So maybe One department...... same laws for all, same fees, same BIRDS, same limits etc for all.

I think it is STUPED how there are different laws in each state I thought this was 1 country with one priminister running it!!!
All laws should become national through out AUSTRALIA as we are all Australians and should all be entitled to the same thing regardless of which state we live in!!!

I know - but even the whole licencing thing is a crock to. I got my eckies - filled in a form and sent my 20 bucks off in the post and got a piece of paper back. For all they know I could have bought 10 eckies - or have smuggled in an African Grey - and they would have no idea.
I think they should stop dictating rules and regulations until they start being more serious about them - and as you say - make them national!!
What cracks me up the most is that they are birds - they fly - duh - like they know to not cross the 'boundaries' into other states!!!
