This list creates a **carve-out** (exception) for these six common parrot species, recognizing they are widely kept as pets and don't need the same level of protection as rarer wildlife. Without this list, keeping a pet galah or budgie could require federal permits."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/list-of-native-household-pet-animals-29-11-2001","history":"/api/acts/list-of-native-household-pet-animals-29-11-2001/history","analysis":"/api/acts/list-of-native-household-pet-animals-29-11-2001/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/list-of-native-household-pet-animals-29-11-2001/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/list-of-native-household-pet-animals-29-11-2001/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/list-of-native-household-pet-animals-29-11-2001/documents"}}
