We
regret to announce that we no longer export our birds
(this applies to Canada as well).
FYI
There is no facility nor individual in the US that is liscensed
to export Appendix I species such as Double Yellow-Headed and
Yellow-Naped Amazons, therefore these species cannot currently
be exported by anyone in the United States.
We
continue to get requests to export our birds and people are asking
if they can fly into the United States and take a bird back. NO,
THIS IS NOT POSSIBLE. It is ILLEGAL to take an Appendix I
or II parrot out of the US to another country without CITES Export
and Import permits. See the CITES website for more information.
We get emails
from people asking how to export their bird(s) from the US to
another country.
Sorry, we do
not provide this service.
To
export your bird(s), you will need to obtain CITES permits,
an import permit to the destination country, and an export permit
from the US Fish and Wildlife Office of Management Authority for
CITES. See the
CITES website for full information.
It can take several months to obtain these permits! You will have
to prove origin of your bird(s) to obtain the US export permit.
The Office of Management Authority will tell you what is required.
Their telephone number is (800) 358-2104. You will also need an
international health certificate on a specific USDA form dated
within ten days of export and this must be endorsed by a USDA
veterinarian. Call
your local USDA office for more information. Your shipping crate must meet IATA
standards. Please contact your shipping airline for full requirements.
You will have to have your shipment inspected and cleared at the
airport at the time of shipping. Contact
your local US Fish and Wildlife office for information on this. Good luck!
