Travel with Bird (US to Canada)

I was wondering if anyone has experience with travel from US to Canada and back with your bird.

I have researched a bit into it. Looks like I can get into Canada with a vet's exam like one week prior to the border crossing.

I am curious about proving ownership to avoid any illegal importation issues.

If anyone has experience with this, I would appreciate any info.

thanks!

Dave

Honestly -- based on the information from the thread that tielfan linked and from an article I read in the Companion Parrot Quarterly I'd strongly reconsider bringing your bird along on your trip to Canada. I know it's difficult to leave a bird behind on even a brief vacation but there seems to be no clear-cut answer to how and what a US pet owner needs to bring their bird across the border.
