U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Suspends Importation of African Grey Parrots Under Wild Bird Conservation Act

Summary

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has reached a final decision to suspend the importation of African grey parrots from Cote d'Ivoire, Togo, Benin, and Guinea under the Wild Bird Conservation Act of 1992, citing conservation concerns. However, a statutorily mandated moratorium on importation became effective on October 23, 1993, making the suspension unnecessary.
