Getting Softbills
Native softbills are protected species in all Australian states and territories requiring keepers to be licensed under the relevant state government authorities.
ASC strongly encourages beginners and those keepers looking to expand into different species of softbill to thoroughly research before obtaining new birds. Beginners should be willing to ask many questions and seek recommendations from our experienced members as to the best starting species.
These species will be subject to your location, the available space that you have, the ease of access to necessary dietary requirements and much more. There is a lot to take into account before whimsically purchasing a new softbill.
To kick start your research ASC recommends that you checkout the Australian Softbill Online Database (designed and founded by Danny Brown). It is ideal for beginners and experienced keepers looking to expand into new species.
