exotic pets in council house

so this is my tenancy
10.4.1 You must not keep any animal, bird or domestic pet except:
• cats or dogs
• a small caged bird (not a pigeon)
• a small caged animal
• a fish in an aquarium.
i asked if i could keep a bird of prey awhile ago and they said no give me no reason why just clear no and i said ok but have just came across this
A Tenant must seek the prior written consent of the Landlord should they wish to keep pets or other animals at the Property. A Landlord must not unreasonably withhold or delay a written request from a Tenant without considering the request on its own merits. The Landlord should accept such a request where they are satisfied the Tenant is a responsible pet owner and the pet is of a kind that is suitable in relation to the nature of the premises at which it will be kept. Consent is deemed to be granted unless the written request is turned down by a Landlord with good reason in writing within 28 days of receiving the request
i have today rang them up and read this message out to them on there voice mail do they have to give me a good reason why not or does this only apply to private landlords

the bird will not be taking from the wild the bird will be captive bred so would be legal

I'm not sure if that only applies to private landlords or not @Dave1993 but I'd be interested to hear what their response is when they get back to you.
Have you checked to see if you'd need permission to build an aviary in the garden?

You are referring to the Model Tenancy Agreement, which applies to private landlords. Councils and housing associations generally have their own policies and agreements regarding pets and are not obligated to adhere to the MTA's provisions on pet ownership.
Your agreement with the council specifies the types of pets that are permitted. Consequently, the council has the authority to enforce these rules and deny permission for any pets not listed.
If you want to keep a pet not listed in your agreement, you should submit a written request to the council. I would not recommend making a verbal enquiry on this matter. It is good practice for the council to review your request and provide an explanation if they deny it. They may grant permission if they are satisfied that the bird will not disrupt other tenants and that the conditions comply with exotic pet regulations.
