Cockatoo Eggs

⚖️ Legal and Regulatory Information/Buy Cockatoo Eggs online

Buy Cockatoo Eggs online Cockatoos are subject to strict regulations due to international conventions and national/local laws.

• CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species): Many cockatoo species are listed under CITES (often Appendix I or II), which strictly regulates their international trade, including their eggs.

  • Permits are required for the import, export, or re-export of CITES-listed specimens.

  • The sale of eggs from these species is highly restricted, and the eggs often require unique identification for legal traceability, which can be logistically very difficult.

• Domestic Laws: Laws vary by country and region, covering the sale of wild animals, captive-bred birds, and their eggs. Selling eggs may require specific licenses, traceability records, and compliance with animal welfare acts.

Before attempting to purchase any cockatoo egg, you must thoroughly research and comply with all applicable local, national, and international laws.

🔎 Where to Find Cockatoo Eggs (High-Risk)

Due to the warnings above, finding a legitimate source for fertile eggs is extremely difficult. Potential (but highly risky) avenues include:

1. Avian Breeders/Farms: The most legitimate source, but they are often highly selective. You would need to contact local, licensed cockatoo breeders directly to see if they ever sell eggs, which is rare. They are more likely to sell a weaned chick.

2. Online Marketplaces/Forums: You may see listings on general marketplaces or agriculture forums. Be extremely skeptical, as these sources are where the majority of scams occur and where you have the least assurance of fertility, legality, or the egg’s condition.

💰 Price

The price for a fertile cockatoo egg is difficult to pin down due to the scarcity of legitimate sales. However, some unverified online listings for fertile parrot eggs (including cockatoo species) have listed them around €30 – €40 per egg, though these listings are often the subject of scam warnings. A fully weaned, hand-fed cockatoo chick from a reputable breeder typically costs thousands of dollars, which reflects the difficulty and care involved.

Given the significant risks and ethical concerns, I strongly recommend finding a fully-weaned, healthy bird from a certified breeder.

Would you like me to search for reputable cockatoo breeders or avian rescue organizations in your area to help you find a healthy, fully weaned bird?
