Issue Update - Federal
Blue-Throated Macaw Listed As Endangered
A rule proposed by U.S. Fish & Wildlife (FWS) in January 2013 to list the blue-throated macaw (Ara glaucogularis) as endangered under the Endangered Species Act of 1973 was adopted on October 13, 2013. The rule will be effective November 4, 2013.
In its proposal to list the blue-throated macaw as endangered, the FWS cited the macaw's population has continued to decrease despite intense conservation efforts and that the primary threat to the species is lack of reproductive success due to nest failure and lack of suitable, available habitat.
Effects of New Rule
Commercial Use: The Endangered Species Act doesn't prohibit intrastate (within a State) sale or offer for sale of endangered species. It does, however, prohibit interstate (between States) sales. If you wish to sell or commercially use your macaw(s), you would have to either sell the bird(s) to someone who resides within your home State, or apply for a permit* for interstate sale or commercial use of your bird(s).
Captive Breeding: The FWS does not regulate captive breeding of listed species, meaning you are not prohibited from continuing to breed the blue-throated macaw. If you intend to sell any macaws or their progeny, you will need to sell them within the State the birds were bred to someone residing in the same State, or apply for a permit* for interstate sale or commercial use of your bird(s).
Personal Pets: The Endangered Species Act places no restrictions on traveling with or transporting legally obtained endangered species within the United States for your own personal use. Under the new rule, no permit is required for you to travel or transport your pet macaw(s)within the United States, provided you are not selling or otherwise engaging in commercial activity with the bird(s).
* The FWS provides that "if a person in the course of a commercial activity can demonstrate that such sale or other commercial use enhances the propagation or survival of the species, or that it is for scientific research, he or she may apply for a permit."
