||
|
||
(2) ensuring that all trade in species of exotic birds involving the United States is biologically sustainable and is not detrimental to the species;
|
||
|
||
(3) limiting or prohibiting imports of exotic birds when necessary to ensure that—
|
||
|
||
(A) wild exotic bird populations are not harmed by removal of exotic birds from the wild for the trade; or
|
||
|
||
(B) exotic birds in trade are not subject to inhumane treatment; and
