Framed.

thanks framed, dont u ever sleep bud,ha
just got my old permit books out, seems i got rid of my permitted birds in 1995, things have changed a bit, hope the hired help has also, i used to love it when they came for a visit, in my real big aviary they had no chance of counting the birds, but they liked it.
just applied online for my rec license, so see how long it takes,
we used to be able to keep up to 5 birds before applying for a license, does that still apply? each state will be diff of course, sometimes it seems like we live in a totally diff country ay, with regards to " u can have this here but not there, u need a permit in this state but not that one"
and the list from framed will be diff in most other states
ive been looking for the exempt list for Qld, will have to keep looking
cheers

this is what we got in wa. doesnt list all birds that we can keep. permits obtained through calm over here. things like cordons are on a declared bird licencse when i get a copy i post it...pete

do you have a link for that wa permit

theres not really much on there site about birds. if you buy from a dealler permits go through them . but heres the website for calm any way.its better to ring them and ask ..pete thhttp://www.calm.wa.gov.au/

thanks Pete

just trying to clarify a few things before the weekend,
just had a bit of a look on the EPA site, to much bullshit to decifer there, can anyone tell me the diff between
controlled-
commercial-

how do we go about buying a bird in NSW or wherever that is not required for permit but it is in QLD, do we just get their details and submit??

still looking for license exempt bird list for QLD, any ideas..
cheers

I have had this before when i bought some birds from NSW that were not on permit and the person had no licence. EPA told me to get there name and address and that is all i needed as long as this is done and your details are right , everything is fine. As for Controlled i would say that would be restricted birds and commerical would have to be shops
