Hi all you bird lovers!
On 1st December 2025 the licensing of all exotic birds was transferred from DBCA to DPIRD. Under DPIRD’s new system several changes have been made which will have a direct impact on anyone keeping,acquiring and disposing of non Native Australian birds.
We have attempted to advise DPIRD of the ramifications of their new requirements and believe it is important for them to get input from the wider avicultural community.
Both major bird clubs are aware of the situation and have invited a representative from DPIRD to attend a meeting to discuss these new changes and their consequential impact.
Below is a notice from The Avicultural Society of WA and the Finch Society of Western Australia inviting everyone with an interest in these new changes to attend this meeting. We would strongly urge as many people as possible to be there and be heard.
Please share this with your friends and hope to see you there.
