    African Greys upgraded to CITES appendix 1, breeders take note

    African Grey and Timneh Grey parrots - CITES: The changes


    In early October of 2016 that regular conference took place at Johannesburg to deliberate these issues. Here submissions were made by a number of signatory member countries that the Grey should be upgraded from Appendix 2 to Appendix 1.

    There was a majority vote for that proposition and the species to be listed on Appendix 1.

    This was enacted on 4th February 2017 and they are now subject to Annex A within Europe and therefore the requirement of the Article 10 licence is now in force.

    Defra (the UK's CITES management authority) confirm that Timneh Grey and African Grey parrots now require Article 10 Licences when such captive bred parrots are entered into commercial trade.

    It is an offence to enter such Annex A species into trade without such documentation.

    I received an email a little while ago about African Greys in Canada, To be completely honest, I didn't read it through. I will.
