Bringing bird over the border

[Angelwing]

I am hoping to move to the states next year but was looking at requirements for bringing parrots over the border. I currently live in canada. I have a GCC and know that he he falls under the CITES rules. He'll need to be vet checked and given a permit. I've also read things saying that he needs to be quarantined for 30 days? Is this true? I'm asking if anyone has done this before so I have an idea what I might have to go through. I really don't want to leave him quarantined anywhere, and if that's the case I may not be able to move. I'll also be asking the officials sometime soon. So has anyone done this before?

I believe that the USDA does require they be quarantined for 30 days before allowed in the country. I would check with canadian and us officials to make sure. Canada might not have any part of that unless they are going into canada.

if you search this board, there are actually quite a few threads that discuss that matter. one of them is this one Traveling between U. S. and Canada

yes you would have to leave them in quarantine. I know its worse with dogs, they require in some placed 3-4 months of quarantine - so 30 days isnt too bad! Its just to ensure their safety and health.
