If this happened within 10 years we would probobly have less that 10% of the variety of reptiles we have todaylook what happened to parsons chameleons, monkey tail skinks, standings day geckos once common reptiles in the industry now they are practicaly gone. There are to many varietys for us to work with all of them plus some are not that easy to breed yet. Most parrots are not that hard to breed and many live for 80 years and the demand for reptiles far outweighs the demand for birds.
I also believe you are wrong about the bird act being forced down there throats the importers were against it and it put many of them out of business but it was the best thing to happen for the breeders because cheep imports were no longer available. Also it was based on the fact that parrots are not a very sustainable resource and cutting down there tree to get at the babys was destructive to there habitat. Now many bird breeders are selling off there breeder birds due to low demand once you buy a parrot you have it for life and you only want one. I will do some more checking about who was pushing for the law I have many friends who have been breeding birds for decades and have 100's in there collections.
To say a terriff is a non starter is debateable,the goveronment loves new taxes and we are the ones asking for it so we are begging them to tax us to save our industry.
