In 2022, all parrot species except budgies, peony parrots, and cockatiels will be classified as nationally protected animals. If you fail to go through the relevant procedures and raise or trade illegally, you will need to bear corresponding legal responsibilities. The "Guiding Opinions on Punishing the Crime of Illegal Wildlife Trading in accordance with the Law" issued by the state has reformed the sentencing of parrot laws, making the sentencing more humane. At present, our country has upgraded all parrot species except budgies, peony parrots, and cockatiels, whether they are wild populations or artificially bred, to national second-level key protected wild animals. If you want to raise large parrots at home, you must first obtain a "Wild Animal Domestication and Breeding License". If you do not apply for it, it is illegal to raise it. Then the breeders should release the birds of the relevant species or hand them over to the forestry department. If you do not apply for an artificial breeding license and continue to breed, the birds will be confiscated according to law and fined 1 to 5 times the value. If parrots are illegally hunted, purchased, transported, and sold, it will constitute a crime of endangering precious and endangered wild animals. In this regard, the "Guiding Opinions on Punishing the Crime of Illegal Wildlife Trading in accordance with the Law" issued by the state in 2021 has further improved the law on parrots. The guidance indicates that when determining whether a crime is constituted and arbitration penalties are imposed, comprehensive consideration should be given to whether the animals involved in the case are artificially bred, the degree of species endangerment, survival conditions in the wild, artificial breeding conditions, and whether they are included in the regulations formulated by the wildlife protection department of the State Council. Regarding the artificial breeding of wild animals listed on the national key protected list, as well as the behavior of eating the wild animals involved, the degree of damage to wild animal resources, and the degree of harm to human health, we must comprehensively evaluate the social harm and ensure that the criminal law is appropriate. If the relevant standards for conviction and sentencing are obviously inappropriate, they may be properly handled based on the facts, circumstances and degree of social harm of the case.
