Explanatory Note

Section 7 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 (“the Act”), together with Regulations made under that section, provide for the registration and ringing or marking of birds that are kept in captivity and are listed in Schedule 4 to the Act.

Article 3 of this Order removes the birds listed in that article from Schedule 4 to the Act. It also removes the reference to hybrids so that Schedule 4 no longer includes hybrids of the species of birds in the list.
