In Western Australia, numerous exotic birds may be kept under strict conditions with a permit or licence. These birds sometimes escape aviaries or arrive undetected in freight and cargo from the Eastern States or overseas and become pests.

Keeping and importing exotic restricted birds
A permit is required to keep birds categorised as restricted keeping under the Biosecurity and Agriculture Management Act. For applications, refer to Wildlife Licensing on the Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions website (dbca.wa.gov.au).
Import permits
Most declared animals require an import permit to enter Western Australia, and a permit to keep the animal. Import application form can be downloaded from the Biosecurity forms webpage.
