Western Australia YES for all subspecies Eclectus

There are some who confused because the application is not specific in the which subspecies requires licensing or the paper does not contain their binominal or scientific name so you may only need a licence for the Australian Eclectus (macgillivrayi). The Advance Aviculture licence in Western Australia if for ALL subspecies of Eclectus. The licence only costs $20 per year.

You may also have other parrot species that need to be declared and/or licensed. Certain species of parrots require declaring but may not need a licence. You can check on these forms.

You can download or print the WA licences and declarations directly from here. Fill them in & fax or post them directly to The Department of Environment and Conservation.

Each State and Territory has different requirements for keeping, caring for, buying/selling, and moving Eclectus. Here is a list of each State and Territory licences, if they’re needed and any other guidelines and licences I have been able to find so far. I may not have everything so it’s up to you to find out what your state requires.

PLEASE NOTE: it is possibly a requirement for ALL states to have a license for ALL Australian (Macgillivrayi) subspecies of Eclectus due to them being native wildlife.
