Enclosure requirements
Providing a suitable enclosure is an important part of being a responsible pet owner. Enclosures should be in a clean and tidy condition at all times.
Enclosures must not be:
- within 10 metres of a neighbouring dwelling
- within 2 metres of the boundary of the property.
General requirements
As a responsible pet owner, you must make sure that keeping larger parrots does not cause:
- a disturbance or disruption to a neighbour’s enjoyment of their own premises
- a nuisance, such as noise or odour
- a build-up of animal faeces
- breeding or harbouring of flies or vermin
- damage to property
- harm to human health or safety.
