Never ever be afraid to do whats right if the well being of an animal is at stake.

The declared/proscribed species (2009) are listed in the Legal Requirements section. Parrotlets aren't on the list so I presume if they aren't in WA it's not because they are banned. Best Check with the authorities first before importing.

They are on the 2007 list of exotic birds in Australia but any new importations are banned. ABK had an article on them several years ago, and I seem to recall the very small numbers that existed back then came from birds that arrived before the ban but I haven't heard any mention of them for years.
They are considered high risk as likely to spread disease or become feral.
