Can I bring my pet parrots from Australia to the UK if I have to leave?

 

Please advise. Thanks

Is it on the CITES list?

Exporting native household pets

In general, Australian native animals are not permitted to leave Australia. This is to protect and conserve Australian native wildlife.

But you may be able to take some native pets overseas as long as they will not be used for commercial purposes such as selling or trading. If you would like to take your pet with you when you leave Australia, you must:

• be an Australian resident or ordinarily reside in Australia
• have owned and kept the animal as a household pet
• be leaving Australia with the intention of taking up permanent residence in another country.

Native household pets that may be taken internationally are listed below. All have a limit of three animals, except budgerigars and cockatiels, which are limited to a non-commercial quantity:

• Sulphur-crested cockatoo (Cacatua galerita)
• Galah (Eolophus roseicapillus)
• Little corella (Cacatua sanguinea)
• Long-billed corella (Cacatua tenuirostris)
• Cockatiel (Nymphicus hollandicus)
• Budgerigar (Melopsittacus undulatus).

Pet fish and pet cockroaches/spiders can be exported if sourced from an approved source.

No other native Australian animal may be taken outside Australia as a household pet.
