        (1) any exotic bird that is imported after October 23, 1992; or
        (2) any other exotic bird that is--
            (A) hatched after October 23, 1992;
            (B) offered for sale; and
            (C) of a species--
                (i) the export of which from any country of origin is 
            prohibited; and
                (ii) that is subject to a high level of illegal trade.

    The Secretary shall seek to ensure that regulations promulgated 
under this section will not have the effect of deterring captive 
breeding of exotic birds.
