臺灣雖非鸚鵡原產地，但透過貿易交流，鸚鵡已經成為我國僅次於犬、貓和魚的第四大寵物。而1973年簽定的華盛頓公約採貿易管制方式來保護野生動植物，目前締約國多達181個國家，在生物多樣性維護與永續發展促進上為重要之多邊協定。我國的鸚鵡市場仍處於剛起步狀態，對於鸚鵡保育工作仍有改進與檢討空間，故兼以CITES規範觀點以求完備檢討現有法制。本文將以鸚鵡的貿易、管理與保育制度為論述重點，先就鸚鵡的買賣、檢疫及鸚鵡對我國生物多樣性造成的衝擊進行探討，再就鸚鵡的飼養與管理加以研究，最後提出強化我國鸚鵡保育之制度與法律建議。
Parrots are not a native spice from Taiwan. However, because of international trade, parrots have become the number 3 choice as household pet after dogs, cats and fishes in Taiwan. With the introduction of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) in 1973, the licensing system has been established to regulate international wildlife trade. Management and conservation of parrots in Taiwan is still at its early phase and there are rooms for improvement and discussion. As such, it is necessary to also consider viewpoints stipulated in CITES in order to reviewing our existing regulations. This article will focus on the issues of trade, management and conservation of parrots. Started by discussing how private trading and quarantine of parrots would impact domestic wildlife ecosystem. Further more, it will explore the issues concerning breeding and regulation of parrots. Finally, this article will conclude with recommendation for strengthening the management and conservation of parrots.
