Abstract Non‐native species have been translocated from their native to new geographic ranges through the pet trade. Consequently, some become threatened with extinction, while establish and invasive. We surveyed 117 physical stores across South Africa between September 2018 2019 determine avian composition, availability, price IUCN status. reviewed literature which established populations outside captivity, including impacts clutch sizes. recorded 169 26 families, of 147 were non‐natives. Psittacidae (23%) Estrildidae (20%) most available families. The budgerigar Melopsittacus undulatus , zebra finch Taeniopygia guttata Fischer's lovebird Agapornis fischeri in all provinces. Most listed as least concern (78%) sold at lower prices, rarely higher prices. Only 14 associated agricultural impact. In addition, six these among top 20 traded observed captivity Africa. Assessing trade is essential for conservation invasive management. results this study may help improve early surveillance detecting establishment potential species.

The global pet trade is a thriving multibillion-dollar industry, involving the international exchange of various species and regulated by Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species Wild Fauna Flora (CITES). South Africa plays significant role as both an importer exporter within this market. By analysing over 13 million records from CITES database, spanning 1975 to 2023, we aimed access Africa’s analyse volume trends time. Our findings indicate that alien dominate exports, particularly birds mammals, while native are traded lower volume, only few species. top 10 for mammals belong genera Agapornis Callithrix, 80% reptile exports were native, with Stigmochelys pardalis being most exported Bird mammal primarily composed captive-bred individuals, whereas wild-sourced individuals contribute exports. Approximately 100 countries import Africa, Asia Europe major importers birds. extensive exportation species, reptiles, raises conservation concerns regarding potential impact local biodiversity.
