I got told that if you have a cirton cockatoo it must be registered? Iv never herd such a thing till today when me and lola went to aslin and finch to get some zupreem.:blue1:
I know citrons are going extict in their homeland but do we have to register them in the USA? I don't think you have to but I thought id ask just in case. Does anyone know anything about this?

I have not heard of citron registration either, but jurisdictions are changing requirements all the time.....a call to your state's wildlife agency should get you all the answers you need.....you may be able to do your own research by searching exotic animal restrictions/laws for xyz state.....

Some 20 years ago I had two squirrel monkeys and was supposed to have permits for them, but I decided against spending the several hundred dollars per monkey/per year, but then my veterinarian knew I did not have permits & also thought the permitting price ridiculous, so I enjoyed them until they passed of old age.....
 
It truly depends on where you live. In New Jersey ALL exotics are required to be registered with Fish & Wildlife. I pay an annual $20 fee for (all) my birds.

It would be easy enough to find out for you if you did a google search for your state/county. :)
 
Yeah I was confused haha! I live in spokane washington and my other excotics don't have to be registered. And your right about monkeys! My cousin had a monkey and 2 tigers the fees were outrageous!!! The tigers that I used to crawl all over and play with when I was a small child (they were small too) had to go elsewhere along with the money that pulled my hair:'( to costly to own an excotic like that then they wounder why the people who do have them struggle feeding them. Im going to call the game department tomorrow. In a sence it sounds real because citrons are going extinct but not domesticated ones lol:)
 
Citron cockatoos are on the CITES appendix I list, so it's illegal (worldwide, I believe?) to sell one without a CITES certificate. You can give one away for free, and you can keep one, without a certificate. But selling (and buying) is very illegal without one. Getting a certificate for one that your acquired if it doesn't already have one can be difficult, I've heard.
 
(If I remember correctly, the CITES certificate follows the bird and not to owner, so it's not a registration per se, more like a certificate for the bird guaranteeing that it was born in captivity and isn't an illegal import, basically)
 
Maybe that's what the guy was talking about. I got her given to me from a couple because they had to move they were being stationed in the airforce elsewhere and the trip across the country would have been hard on lola. She's definetly not wild cought:) thanks for the info on that! Ill have to read more about it:)
 
I read it on some sites and one of them saying they need to be registered under Article 10 but it's an uk site. They are declining pretty good, it might be wise for you to register on that site as they try to keep a list of them all around just in case they need you to give in your bird for breeding purposes so we don't lose another bird to extinct list....It made me very sad reading it....I personally would give up any of my birds if it would help with the population....
 
Yeah its sad:( maybe the poachers shouldn't poach! And the illegal bird traders shouldn't trade! But that wont ever happen... what site do you register on? My neighbor also has a male citron so I can pass the info on:) 2013-02-23_14-05-10_71.webp
