Macaw are legal in New York?

Postby Ressler » Thu Sep 12, 2019 2:53 pm

Hello everyone,,
Friends, I live in New York, I wonder whether the NY law permits the creation of macaws as pets, it takes some outrorização, the breeder or bitcoin sweepstakes store has to have a document proving that the bird nesceu in captivity. If they can help me would be very grateful.

Yes, macaws are legal in NY. And there are no wild-caught babies anywhere in the States as you cannot import any bird trapped in the wild since 1992 when the law called The Wild Bird Conservation Act was passed. The usual way of proving a bird was born in captivity is a closed leg band as it can only be put on the leg when the baby is newborn.
