A 732 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to the sale of birds by pet dealers when such birds have not yet been fully weaned

This bill allows pet dealers to sell birds that are not yet fully weaned, but only under strict conditions. Dealers must provide written disclosure to buyers that the bird is unweaned, confirm the buyer knows how to hand-feed the bird (or provide training), and secure a written agreement for weekly inspections until the bird is fully weaned - defined as maintaining at least 90% of its weight without hand-feeding. It directly affects pet dealers selling birds and their buyers, requiring documentation of the bird’s weight at sale. The law replaces a prior outright ban on selling unweaned birds with these specific buyer accountability measures.
