List of Cites 1 Birds
Cites (CONVENTION ON INTERNATIONAL TRADE IN ENDANGERED SPECIES OF WILD FAUNA AND FLORA)
1. Species included in these Appendices are referred to:
a) by the name of the species; or
b) as being all of the species included in a higher taxon or designated part thereof.
2. The abbreviation “spp.” is used to denote all species of a higher taxon.
3. Other references to taxa higher than species are for the purposes of information or classification only. The common
names included after the scientific names of families are for reference only. They are intended to indicate the species
within the family concerned that are included in the Appendices. In most cases this is not all of the species within the
family.
4. When a species is included in one of the Appendices, the whole, live or dead, animal or plant is included.
5. NB. Please note all Hybrids, where one of the parents is a Cites1 Bird, paired with a non-Cites 1 Bird, are listed
Cites1. E.g. Blue and Gold Macaw (Ara Ararauna) crossed with a Cites1 Scarlet Macaw (Ara Macao) = A Catalina,
which then makes the Catalina a Cites1 Bird.
