2. How do I register my breeder pairs or my pet bird with the United Avian Registry?
Birds which are being used in a captive breeding program
which are not currently registered with the the United Avian Registry may be eligible for a special breeder's discount when applying for registration.  Registration is initiated by completing and signing a UAR Single Registration Application, making a copy of the other registration or pedigree information and submitting 2 photos (front view and side view) of the bird or birds to be registered and then sending the applications to the United Avian Registry's Registration Office with the proper registration fee.

PBirds which are NOT being used in a captive breeding program but that a just pets which are not currently registered  may apply for UAR registration and can be issued certified UAR registration papers by completing and signing a UAR
Single Registration Application, providing 2 photos (front view & side view) of the bird to verify and/or confirm that the bird is the correct breed & species type that registration is being requested for. 
Send all of the above required items to the United Avian Registry’s Registration Office with the proper registration fee. 

The Standard Registration fee for a single bird is currently $20.00 per bird, however breeding qualify for a special discount on all adult breeding stock.
Once your submitted application has been approved for UAR registration all of your bird's information
will be entered into the United Avian Registry's genetic database.  Your bird will at that time be assigned it's own unique UAR registration number that identifies your bird and it's breed as well as it's species and yourself as the owner on record. 

All approved applicants will be mailed an official UNITED AVIAN REGISTRY registration certificate with all of the newly registered bird's information and the registered owners information.  Your UAR registration certificate will be mailed to you upon the completion of the registration of your bird.

3. How  long does it take to get my UAR registration papers back?

Standard processing time for Single Registrations, Clutch Registrations and Transfer of Ownerships with pedigrees is approximately 2-3 weeks.  This does not include mailing time (5 days), weekends or holidays.  Back to top.

 


4. I lost my UAR registration certificate can I get a duplicate certificate by phone or email?

The UAR does offer an application for which you can apply for a duplicate UAR registration certificate that can replace a lost certificate.  We believe that it is in our customers best interest that the UAR does not provide this service via phone or email.  All duplicate certificates must be applied for with the UAR Duplicate Application Form.  The duplicate application form must have original signatures, no copies will be accepted.   Back to top.




5.  Does the UAR start bloodlines?

 The UAR single registration application does not start bloodlines but it can assist with documenting a family tree or bloodline.  One of the UAR's main purposes is to document and record all captive avian species essential information and maintain that information one all-inclusive database for the benefit of serious aviculturist, pet owners and the bird community as a whole.
This information can be used to establish or better captive breeding programs of bird species that may be facing near extinction or that have severely taxed wild populations.

6.  Does my UAR Registration Certificate ever expire?

 No, as long as you have the papers they are still valid.  After 60 days of ownership without transferring the certificate into your name, there is a $10.00 late processing fee that must be paid.  Even after the 60 days your UAR papers are still VALID.
UAR papers are only invalid if the bird is deceased or reported stolen.

7.  What is a Pedigree?

 A pedigree is the family tree or the genealogical history of a bird.  A UAR certified pedigree will show the parents, grand parents, and great grandparents, up to several generations back.  United Avian Registry certified pedigrees are invaluable to determine which breedings will produce the best offspring or results based on the genetic background of each bird and the dominate traits of their particular genealogical history. 
The United Avian Registry can issue certified pedigrees for 3 or 4 generations of ancestry on most UAR registered birds.  A UAR certified pedigree may be ordered at the time of registration of your bird (providing the information is available) or at a later date.  Back to top.
