While looking at various breeders to purchase a bird from, I noticed there doesn't seem to be any type of state or federal license required. Or maybe the breeders I am looking at are not licensed?

In any case, my question is this. Is there a Florida license or a Federal license that breeders should have? Thanks for taking the time to assist me.

Yes, anyone who sells or exhibits exotic birds must have a Florida Conservation License. Anyone who is transporting/importing into the State of Florida must now have a FWC license. It is up to the buyer to request the FWC license.

I tried 3 times to go to the link and could not.
Licenseing varies by state
