It should also be noted that there is currently a ban on importation of birds from any country in Africa (to my knowledge) what so ever. It's been in place for years and now especially due to the "bird ban" due to the "avian flu" that has been established by the CDC (Center for Desease Control) since 1994.
In fact, currently importing birds from almost all countries into the US is now restircted.

Wildlife Extra - Bird import ban saving hundreds of thousands of birds.
