Class 1 Class 4 List of Declared Animals – South Australia The primary mechanism for the management of introduced (exotic) animals in South Australia is the Natural Resources Management Act 2004 through the List of Declared Animals. You do not need a permit to keep, move or sell most introduced birds that are commonly kept in aviculture. However, there are still some birds that are prohibited in South Australia unless you have a permit. Listed below are the classes from the List of Declared Animals that relate to birds. If your bird is not listed in Class 4 (and is not a starling west of Ceduna) it defaults to Class 1 and you will need a permit. It is illegal to release any introduced bird. Please contact Biosecurity SA on 08‐8303‐9620 or [email protected] if you would like any further information, or to apply for a permit. A full version of the List of Declared Animals can be found here. Summary of Provisions of the Act – for detail refer to the Natural Resources Management Act 2004 s. 175 – permit required to move animal s. 176 – permit required to possess animal s. 177 – permit required to sell animal s. 179 – permit required to release animal s. 180 – requirement to notify presence of animal s. 181 – requirement to control animal s. 182 – requirement for owner to take action to destroy or control animal Schedule 1 Animals Provisions of Act Category Control Area which are to apply CLASS 1 175(1)(3), 176(1), 177, 1 Whole of the State All animals not native to Australia and not listed 179, 180, 181(1), 182(1) in classes 2 to 22.

  • MADAGASCAR TRIP REPORT Aug.-‐Sept 2012 John Clark
    MADAGASCAR TRIP REPORT Aug.-Sept 2012 John Clark ([email protected]) Our London friends, Dick and Liz Turner, Mary Ward-Jackson and I spent almost 4 weeks in Madagascar. Our primary focus was Birds, But we were also interested in nature more Broadly and culture. The tour was excellently prepared By our guide, Fanomezantsoa Andrianirina (Fano) – who was a perfect guide as well as Being great fun to travel with. The trip was excellent and we ended up seeing 122 of the endemic (and endemic Breeding) Birds of Madagascar, plus 54 non-endemics. Fano was not only an excellent Bird-guide himself, But he had lined up local guides in most of the locations – most of whom were terrific (especially, perhaps, Jaqui in Ampijoroa). Fano is doing much to help develop these local guides as more experienced and confident bird-guides in their own right. The logistics and places to stay were excellent – well, as excellent as an inevitaBle dependence on Madagascar Air permits! (They don’t call it Mad. Air for nothing; it is quite the worst airline I have ever had to use!). Fano’s drivers were also terrific (and keen budding birders!) So our main advice, for those planning a birding (or indeed broader nature/wildlife) trip to Mad. is to use Fano if at all possible. He was totally professional, accurate, dogged, scientifically knowledgeaBle about the Bird, mammals and other species and became a good friend.

  • Brazil's Eastern Amazonia
    The loud and impressive White Bellbird, one of the many highlights on the Brazil’s Eastern Amazonia 2017 tour (Eduardo Patrial) BRAZIL’S EASTERN AMAZONIA 8/16 – 26 AUGUST 2017 LEADER: EDUARDO PATRIAL This second edition of Brazil’s Eastern Amazonia was absolutely a phenomenal trip with over five hundred species recorded (514). Some adjustments happily facilitated the logistics (internal flights) a bit and we also could explore some areas around Belem this time, providing some extra good birds to our list. Our time at Amazonia National Park was good and we managed to get most of the important targets, despite the quite low bird activity noticed along the trails when we were there. Carajas National Forest on the other hand was very busy and produced an overwhelming cast of fine birds (and a Giant Armadillo!). Caxias in the end came again as good as it gets, and this time with the novelty of visiting a new site, Campo Maior, a place that reminds the lowlands from Pantanal. On this amazing tour we had the chance to enjoy the special avifauna from two important interfluvium in the Brazilian Amazon, the Madeira – Tapajos and Xingu – Tocantins; and also the specialties from a poorly covered corner in the Northeast region at Maranhão and Piauí states. Check out below the highlights from this successful adventure: Horned Screamer, Masked Duck, Chestnut- headed and Buff-browed Chachalacas, White-crested Guan, Bare-faced Curassow, King Vulture, Black-and- white and Ornate Hawk-Eagles, White and White-browed Hawks, Rufous-sided and Russet-crowned Crakes, Dark-winged Trumpeter (ssp.
