Original consultation

Summary

Seeking views on options we’ve proposed for simplifying the way that trade in captive-bred birds is regulated.

This consultation was held on another website.

This consultation ran from
28 January 2015 to 11:59pm on 23 March 2015

Consultation description

We want to know what you think about our options for changing the way that trade in captive-bred birds is regulated in Britain. These options include making it easier to meet the regulations when selling birds imported from other EU Member States.

We also want to know if the rings birds wear are the right size, how to treat colour-morphs and if class licences could help monitor trade. The information you give will help us decide if we need to make other changes in the future.
