Captive bred birds: changing how we regulate trading in England, Scotland and Wales
Seeking views on options we’ve proposed for simplifying the way that trade in captive-bred birds is regulated.
Last fetched 03 May 2026 · gov.uk
Detail
We want to know what you think about our options for changing the way that trade in captive-bred birds is regulated in Britain. These options include making it easier to meet the regulations when selling birds imported from other EU Member States.
We also want to know if the rings birds wear are the right size, how to treat colour-morphs and if class licences could help monitor trade. The information you give will help us decide if we need to make other changes in the future.
