Legal Status: State Contacts

Listed below is the contact information for each state's Fish and Wildlife Department. Before purchasing an exotic bird, please contact your local department to ensure the bird you are acquiring is legal within your state. While the list is updated annually, it is advisable to call the appropriate State Wildlife Department to ensure that no changes have been made regarding the legality of keeping quaker parakeets.

And, NO, the State Fish and Wildlife Departments will NOT make exceptions to these laws for anyone. It doesn't matter if you "don't plan to breed your quakers" or if you will only be living there for a month or a year -- the rules apply to everyone.
