Popular Post blackcab Posted June 30, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 30, 2022 Are you aware that many types of Macaw are listed in Appendix 1 of the CITES regulations and their sale, export and import are highly regulated? Here is a list of the CITES 1 protected Macaws: Blue-headed Macaw Blue-throated Macaw Blue-winged Macaw Buffon’s Macaw Glaucous Macaw Great Green Macaw Hyacinth Macaw Illiger’s Macaw Indigo Macaw Lear’s Macaw Little Blue Macaw Military Macaw Red-fronted Macaw Scarlet Macaw Spix’s Macaw Other members - please think carefully before recommending anyone you think might be unlicensed or operating unlawfully. This is not a trivial matter and I caution you to consider your replies carefully. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunLA Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 (edited) Looking at the appendix, Thailand is not listed for Macaws. If I'm reading it correctly. TBH, not exactly sure what the means. Countries listed could simply be the animals origins. Macaws are neither native to nor migrate through Thailand. Something to be considered. https://www.thainationalparks.com/list-of-birds-of-thailand So I assume having one as a pet / companion here may be legal (OR NOT), depending how sourced and from who, which explains why a few of the locals do have. Gal at Swensens was out with hers, sitting on her head & shoulders, while they enjoyed their ice cream. Loving bird. Nice to see it not in a cage or tethered. https://checklist.cites.org/#/en/search/output_layout=alphabetical&level_of_listing=0&show_synonyms=1&show_author=1&show_english=1&show_spanish=1&show_french=1&scientific_name=macaw&page=1&per_page=20 Edited June 30, 2022 by KhunLA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steven100 Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 OP .... Macaws are protected and as such you can't just get one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want the macaw for my big house in thailand i do not wish to remove it from thailand , i have no interest in selling the bird after i have purchased one , i know you can get macaws in chackuchack market but if there are breeders nearer my house in chumpollburi that would be fine.

Macaws that are bred from egg can be owned and there are breeders all over thailand. Theese birds are hand reared and fly to hand , before sale they have blood tests DNA to determin sex 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for confirming that you want to purchase an animal bred in captivity in Thailand and your intent is to keep the animal in Thailand.
