Have you heard about, or read the text of H.R. 669?
This bill, currently under review (and being fought by loads of people) will prohibit non-native animals from being kept by private USA citizens as pets. This means that most parrots and reptiles not native to the USA could no longer be imported into the USA and become pets. Take a look at the proposed legislation and see what you think of it:

There is a fear that you would be required to get rid of your CURRENT non-native pets, because there would be no so-called “Grandfathering” provision to this bill, should it become law.
