Nowadays, many people like to keep some pets as companionship.
From the first cats and dogs, to later turtles and hamsters.
In recent years, parrots have become popular in pet circles again, but not all parrots can be bought and sold in the market, and it may be illegal if they are not careful.
When the reporter came to a flower and bird market in Nanning, Guangxi, he saw that in the cages of a pet shop there were parrots of various colors, including tiger skins, Fei-style peony, little sun, and Xuanfeng.
The boss told reporters that different species of parrots have different prices. Budgerigars are about 50-100 yuan each. The more popular species of parrots, such as peony and small sun, can generally be sold for more than 100 yuan. The price of raised monk parrots is as high as 2,000 yuan each, and some parrots have their own "ID cards".
Mr. Zhao, owner of a pet shop: Every bird has a certificate for customers.
There are also anklets. After we sell them, we will put them in, and we will give customers a certificate after they are put on the feet.
The boss showed the reporter relevant certificates of parrots such as Fei Shi Peony and Little Sun.
The reporter saw that the certificate is printed with a special logo for China's wildlife management, and the traceability information of wild animals and their products can be inquired through this logo card.
What needs to be reminded is that after purchasing such a parrot with a logo, citizens are not allowed to breed and sell it on their own, otherwise they may be suspected of breaking the law.
It is understood that among the parrots currently on sale in the flower and bird market, in addition to the parrots of peach-faced peony, tiger skin, chicken tail, red-collared green parrot, etc., which can be sold without relevant certificates, all other types of parrots need to be sold. You can only sell if you hold relevant certificates and apply for approval to the relevant departments.
Deng Qiongqian, a staff member of the Wildlife Protection Section of the Forestry Bureau of Nanning City, Guangxi: When citizens need to buy parrots, they must identify whether the business has a legal license for domestication and breeding of wild animals.
