I have to second this statement... Because birds are known carriers of disease (west nile and avian flu to name two predominant ones), and they can fly over borders, there are many regulations on the transport of birds over borders - more than the transport of most other domestic animals.
You would need to not only check with the Ecuadorian consolate - but also with your own country for the re-import of birds from Ecuador!
I know that I can travel to the USA from Canada and back into Canada without tooooo many difficulties - but that is *not* true for many, many, many other countries.
Good luck! Enjoy Ecuador - I love it there!! But you should go to the Amazon Rain Forest basin and enjoy the natural flora and fauna there. Look for many of the conure and amazon parrots as you go through that area... Although it is sad to see how much of the rain forest has been devastated by the demand for oil around the world...
