Just wondering if any one here has a Nz Native Animal License or knows how to get one because in future I am looking to get one but I think I'm currently under age limit. All I know is that you have to go to DOC and do something.

DOC stands for The Department of Conservation here in New Zealand. They look after all of the land, sea, animals, birds ect, that are not owned by the government and Local people.
A NZ Native Animal License lets you legaly help, look after, keep, wild, endangered, native animals. (I think)

I'm afraid I have no idea, seeing as I live in the U.S.
In my state there are all kinds of laws against keeping native species, to the point that you can't even apply for permission to keep one. You'd have to train to be a wildlife rehabilitator, but you'd be responsible for their care and eventual release and be watched by the state.

I know there is one in nz to get but not sure how to get it a friend of mine who now breeds Macaws had one for breeding Kea. And you can buy kea, kakariki, kaka and NZ falcons on trade me but they all say you must have a license.

And DOC ( department of conservation) I think it is run with the government ( not by) is a group of people that have kept most nz wildlife from extinction like the black robin was saved by Don Merton ( who helped form parts of it) who worked with the last remaining 5 to bring their numbers over 50 years to 200. They also have set up huge reserves which cannot be built on or disturbed for plants and animals to live it.
