how dare anyone make it illegal to own these beauties .. hmm I guess in states where they are a problem in the wild ?? like the quaker.
I don't know of anywhere in Australia where it is illegal, I know some birds you need a licence for, for various reason.
Next ! (preferably someone in the US )

The only state I could find was NJ for IRN's but the Quaker is illegal in California, Kentucky, Tennessee, Wyoming, Kansas, Hawaii, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, because they are very prolific and make nests on power lines and destroy crops they are a very hardy bird that live in almost any climate. I have heard that in Australia that some farmers shoot and kill cockatoo's that invade crops. That is sad as well.

There wouldn't have to be laws like this if people looked after their pets properly.
Unfortunately farmers do shoot native animals. I see it as selfish. There are ways of dealing with birds eating crops other than shooting them. Roos here are shot too. Theres even been culling! Funny how you don't see many Roos out in central Aus. (Well, I didn't see one!) But you sure can see alot of feral cats and camels!

Thanks for the info Donna! I had seen that about Quakers. I just wanted to make sure I didn't miss anything. I am in Alaska and do plan to move south eventually, obviously not to New Jersey.. thought I'd better make sure that was my only restriction. If Lola doesn't go, I don't go. :)

Uhm, you have feral camels??? Wow.. That's really sad though. They were trying to pass a thing here (don't know if they did?) to shoot hundreds of wolves because they said that the moose population was down.
Andi
Yes, strange huh! We have camels. Plenty of them too. The silly things don't move off the hwy either! Scary when you can't see the road infront of you at sunrise with the sun glare, driving on a hwy with no speed limit and a camel suddenly steps out onto the road! (I wasn't driving at this time, but my partner was, but it was just as scary in the passenger seat!) We have buffalo aswell. I have no idea how these were introduced.

coming over the crest of a hill with sun involved, coming across a huge shadow, which turns out to be a big red kanga.. omg ! scariest crap ever for me. We have issues with cows, horse, sheep and goat escapes also and those escapes are usually on the strezlecki's winding hilltop roads.

we have about 50 roo's on our property along the driveway at night when we get home unfortunately they jump into the headlights along the roads and you cant see them until its too late we have only hit one roo took it to wires it was ok. in finland they cull wolves my pop comes from finland says there are so many and they kill a couple people each year, in norway they cull bears. so sad
In Hawaii they are restricted, that much I've looked up in the past. Before moving or traveling through/to a state it's best to look up their import regulations.
There are states where you cannot even travel through with a Quaker Parrot, or states where they must always have clipped wings. As for ringnecks, you would have to look up each state's regulations specifically. I had to dig for Hawaii as I was considering moving there to stay with my aunt for a bit. Found the restriction deep in some PDF somewhere online back then.
Not too long ago I saw a pair of Blue Crowned conures in our tree out front and we have a few local flocks of Nanday Conures as well. Living in Florida and seeing the Monk Parakeet/Quaker Parrot population exploding, I can understand very well why species of parrots are banned or restricted, and why more will be added in the future as aviculture grows and more pets escape.

Then again, I dont have to live with um.
Its a bit scary taking the dogs for a walk,you never know when skippy will be in a bad mood and decide to come play with you. We have goannas too, I remember when I was a kid and my brother kicked the footy near a goanna and it ate the footy whole.
Oh yup, Roos can be dangerous kickboxers. I've cuddled a roo before at Currumbin when I was young. Love the big lizards. When I lived at Uluru (Ayers Rock Resort), it was quite normal to wake up, take a step outside, and almost get bowled over by big perenties taking their morning stroll. But I've heard perenties can be vicious too. Still lovely to see them!
