Do all parrots require a CITES permit?

No, not all parrots require a CITES permit. CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora) regulates the international trade of certain species to ensure their protection and sustainability. The requirement for a CITES permit depends on the specific species of parrot and the country you are importing or exporting from. Endangered parrot species listed under Appendix I of CITES always require a permit, while those listed under Appendix II may require a permit depending on the country's regulations. It is crucial to consult with local authorities or a knowledgeable avian expert to determine the specific permit requirements for the parrot species being imported or exported. Failure to comply with CITES regulations may result in legal consequences and harm conservation efforts.
