dhorje Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 (edited) Our wildlife department came out with a new regulation that the ownership of AGs and Amazons need to be declared. I visited the state's office his morning to declare the ownership of Cocoa. Here are the pics of 3 parrots which are confiscated by the wildlife department. These parrots require license to keep. The poor owners didn't have one. So these birds belong to the wildlife department now. We brought some organic sunflower seeds to feed the 2 friendly Toos. Video of the Toos.

Malikah Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 How very sad. Poor babies. What country state is this? What will happen to them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhorje Posted June 24, 2010 Author Share Posted June 24, 2010 This is Malaysia. I think they will spend the rest of their lives there unless the authority moves them to a zoo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 How sad for those owners who have to give up their beloved pets, I am so glad you declared Cocoa, she would never have the life you give her if you hadn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dhorje Posted June 24, 2010 Author Share Posted June 24, 2010 In Malaysia, certain pets need license or special permit to keep. Some species of animals' license had been frozen meaning license can't be issued anymore. We can't keep most of the native bird species and some non natives. Recently Sulfur Crested Cockatoo's license had been frozen. Now the authority is going to control the AGs and Amazons which all along do not need license nor permit to keep. All the owners of these species are required to declared these parrots before 28th this month or risk getting their birds confiscated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danmcq Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 My concern, besides for the shocked owners, is what do they do with those birds? It is cruel to just keep them locked away in a cage at that facility or give to a zoo, than to leave them with the only people and life they know.

Birdnut Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Over my dead body! What she said!! I'm just concerned that those Malaysian officials are just going to use the information they gather for those "declared" birds to come and take them if they later decide to freeze their licenses. They'll know where to find them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgiesmum Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Why would they freeze there licenses for no reason? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvparrots Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 (edited) Weren't the owners given the opportunity to get licenses? Was it a problem of cost perhaps? Can others obtain a license for ownership of these particular birds? Edited June 24, 2010 by luvparrots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jingles Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Those poor owners! I'd be furious... Good thing you got Cocoa declared. my word... what is the world coming too. Why don't they take away the people who aren't taking care of their birds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhorje Posted June 24, 2010 Author Share Posted June 24, 2010 There are no issues with existing license when the license for the particular species is frozen. New license will not be issued. The existing ones are renewable. The problem here is they don't allow the owners to apply for the license nor they will issue license to the confiscated birds. I think my country is the only country in the world that has this kind of law. Can you imagine keeping lovebirds also need license here? Lovebird is so common and not even threatened. They breed so easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 I think my country is the only country in the world that has this kind of law. Well it is a stupid law for one day nobody will be allowed to own any birds because if the people with existing licenses die off then no more can be issued, I guess that is what they want eventually for no one to own birds, how sad and unfortunate for young ones wanting birds in their life.
