Species Identification Tools - Birds
In an effort to contribute to the enforcement of Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) trade regulations and assist front-line staff to control regulated species and their products, Environment and Climate Change Canada has developed a series of easy-to-use guides. These guides do not require any advanced level of training and are designed in full colour with the specific goal of identifying CITES species.
If the following documents are not accessible to you, please contact us by email, wildlife.enforcement@ec.gc.ca, or by phone, 1-800-668-6767 (in Canada only), for assistance or to obtain other formats.
