http://www.pgc.state.pa.us/pgc/lib/pgc/pdf/january_agenda_20 08.pdf (scroll to G 137.1 WIll make it ILLEGAL to own or sell Nanday Conures in Pennsylvania! Please write and tell them NO WAY! It reads: G. Amend 58 Pa. Code, §137.1. Commentary: Currently, §137.1 requires a person importing lawfully acquired wildlife, or parts thereof, for menagerie, educational or scientific purposes to obtain an importation permit, but does not require an importation permit for exotic wildlife dealer or exotic wildlife possession permit holders. In an effort to create consistency in the regulations and increase the Commission’s capabilities to address wildlife epidemiological concerns, the Commission is proposing to amend §137.1 (relating to importation, sale and release of certain wildlife) to specifically require propagation, exotic wildlife dealer and exotic wildlife possession permit holders to acquire an importation permit prior to importing any wildlife into this Commonwealth. The Commission is also proposing to amend §137.1 to prohibit the importation, possession, sale and release of all non-human primates and the Conure-Nanday, sometimes referred to as the Blackhooded Parakeet, in response to human health/safety and wildlife habitat health purposes.
