澳洲政府於過去2015至2018年期間，批准出售232隻當地受保護瀕危雀鳥給德國一間動物園作展出用途，但這間已註冊的動物園聲稱有設施展出些雀鳥，卻從未開放給公眾而引起質疑。現在更懷疑出售這些雀鳥及牠們的後代，澳洲政府決定展開調查。

The Australian government permitted the export of 232 protected and endangered native birds during 2015-2018, to a zoo in Berlin for exhibitions. However, these exhibitions were never freely opened to the public and caused suspicion. Now there are suspicions of these birds and and their offsprings are being sold, the environment ministers of Australia decided to carry out an investigation.
