Certain species of birds are now protected under Appendix II/B of the Washington Convention (CITES). However, due to their age, our specimens benefit from pre-CITES status, which came into force in France on 11 August 1978 (decree 78-959 of 30/08/1978). If the buyer is not a resident of the European Union, he will need to apply for a CITES export permit.
