Australian Parrots

A Class 1 Bird Keeper Licence or Companion Bird Licence covers many common species of native bird that are usually obtained from licensed pet shops and require only a basic knowledge of bird care to be successfully raised and maintained in captivity.

You must contact National Parks and Wildlife Service to purchase a Class 1, or Companion Bird Licence before you purchase any of the species of native bird, classified under these licences. National Parks and Wildlife Service can issue your Class 1 Licence for either two or five years. To maintain your Class 1 Licence you must maintain complete records of your birds, which must be submitted to the National Parks and Wildlife Service in July of each year. National Parks and Wildlife Service will issue your Companion Bird Licence for five years, and you must notify them about the source of the bird, which you require the licence for.
