Pet birds in Hong Kong

Updated 4 November 2026

Our search in Hong Kong found no reliable price for live pet birds: the listings were toys, books and care guides, so we do not quote them. A bird's price depends on the species, its age, whether it is hand-tamed, its colouring and its documents. Send a request on BlaBlaPrice with these details, and sellers reply in the chat with their own price per bird.

• species and age, and whether the bird is male or female
• how many birds you need, and whether you want a pair
• whether the bird is hand-tamed and used to people
• colouring and the documents that come with it
• the cage, its size in centimetres, and the food you will need
• your city and your budget

Import and trade rules

Birds, including poultry, should not be brought into Hong Kong, either for import or transit, unless a Special Permit has been obtained in advance. Local bird traders must hold a licence under the Public Health (Animals and Birds) Ordinance, and the sale of diseased animals is prohibited. Ask a seller whether the bird comes from a licensed trader and whether it has a health record. Keep the seller's receipt and any papers.

Care before you buy

A basic set-up is a water bowl, a food bowl and a cage or aviary of suitable size. The bird-care checklist published for pet owners is a simple guide to take before you buy. Parrots can live up to 50 years, so a parrot is a commitment for decades, not for a season. Budget for vet checks as well as food.

Season and home

Hong Kong's winter runs December to February and summer June to August. Birds are sensitive to draughts in winter and to direct sun in summer, so choose a room that stays steady in both seasons. The season does not change the price much, but it does change the room you need.

How birds are bought here

Choose a seller in your district, so you can see the bird before paying. Name the district: Central, Kowloon, Sha Tin, Tsuen Wan or Tuen Mun, and ask whether the seller can deliver within the same city. Give the cage size in centimetres. Ask for the bird's age in months or years, not only whether it is "young".

On BlaBlaPrice you describe the bird you want in your own words in a chat, and a photo can be added.
