Jason rang the guy up after reading it in the weekend shopper and the guy said that it had sold 10 min befor he rang
Apparently it had some disease that rendered the bird un able to breed !!

Wow those 3 Macaws at Birdworld are a real sight. They are 2 years old and it will be a shame that they will no doubt go to different homes after spending the first 2 years together. They will miss each other for sure.

A good word of warning there I am sure. You gotta wonder who will end up with any birds confiscated though. Chances are some government official will expand his collection??? I can't see them destroying them so what other options are there?

I can't see them destroying them so what other options are there? How does it work owning alot of the Exotic species like Amazons, Caiques, Macaws etc in Australia? Are special license required in different states to keep & breed them? I'm only asking as move back home is coming up in the future for me.

Not too sure on the other states But there is no licence required here in Queensland
But all exotic birds MUST have PROOF of provence back to LEAGLE importation !!!!

Im in the same boat with my Nanday Conures and Kakarikis
But i have paperwork for all the others
All you need at the moment is a recept from the person you buy the bird off to prove that you bought it leagly if the seller refuses to give you one them you should NOT get the bird !!!!
