Do I Need A License To Own A Macaw In Australia?

I鈥檓 a little confused on how I would go about actually acquiring a blue and gold macaw or other exotic bird in Australia (I read all the EBAG stuff but it went whoosh).

Do they need a license of some kind? If so, how do I get one? Or do you just need some sort of proof that the bird was bred in Australia (and what kind of proof?)?
Answers:
No, as I said in my last answer. No license required for exotic species. You will need around $8000 to buy one here though. Try www.petlink.com.au I have seen them for sale there. Yes, it would be smart to have proof of where you purchased the bird. That could be provided by the breeder.
