You need a level 3 bird license for 2 years and you must have 1 hectare minimum for it to live on, usually it’s a wildlife park or zoo licence holder that would keep something like that

Why do you need licences for some Australian natives and not others in Victoria.

Id say its due to conservation status or the general nature of the bird.

I'm interested in knowing if I need a licence in Vic for a macow parrot. I've been lucky enough to organising some for family pets I know all over the net is staying you don't need one but still I would like confirmation. If so where do I get it?
