Cockatoo birds for sale in tennessee1/30/2024 Since your blog was written several months ago, I'm hoping to hear that you've been able to bring you parrot to Ecuador and that he's now happily living with you. Hope this helps I should also add that I let them know that this was an African gray parrot it was raised in captivity and is not in anyway endangered in the wild. I am living in Portillo pass which is about four hours Northwest of Guayaquil. If you're going to move your bird in before the first of year I would love to hear how this works out for you. This is the information that we have as of now and we would hope that everything would come together when the time comes to move the bird after the first of the year. The person who we're dealing with here in Ecuador is Giovana, they require a bill of sales from where you purchased the bird as well as the supporting document as health clearance her email is she is with the Ecuadorian customs. The bird need to be cleared by bat in the United States within 10 days of the time it arrives at the airport. American airlines do not consider a parrot a pet they will allow dogs and cats to be carry-on. The airlines that we have found that will allow you to travel with a pet bird is on Delta but the only fly into Quito and LAN which allows you to bring parrot as a carry-on. We are planning on shipping a 40 foot container that will have her two large parrot cage is enclosed. Hi I'm here in Ecuador my wife is not coming till after the first of the year and she will bring our pet parrot at that time. Please let me know if you obtain further information and please check into the necessity for USDA and CITES permits from the US side to save being turned away from final boarding. I hope you have great success with the move. Your contact person recommendation is much appreciated. I would have to ship from Atlanta in the more temperate months. GYE is probably too hot for birds, except for night arrivals, if they have to sit in the cargo hold for any length of time. They have a direct flight to Quito (a little over 5 hours) and Quito would almost certainly fall in the temperature comfort zone for arrival. The fact that Delta may be an option is great for me as I would normally fly from Atlanta. Several people also recommend that you inform the pilot that you have live animals in the cargo hold so they don't forget to check that the temperature control is activated. Evidently the temperature in the cargo hold is not controlled unless the engines are running. That presents a problem for most shipped animals if the temperatures at the departure point and at the arrival point are too hot or too cold. From what I read the have to be in carriers that will fit under the seat. Cargo is probably the only way as our parrots are large birds and usually not allowed in cabins. You have probably done better, more detailed homework on this than I have as you are much closer to the move. LAN and Delta both say on their websites that they will not fly birds, especially internationally for Delta. Any info you find on your end relating to the birds would be appreciated. What type of parrot do you have? Enjoy Puerto Lopez. That leaves out my Military Macaw as most macaws are native to Ecuador. If your bird is native to any part of Ecuador then only Zoos, rehab centers, etc., can obtain the permits necessary to have native wildlife in their possession. I have asked the Foundation that I am considering volunteering with to research if Ecuador will accept pet bird imports at all. I have not contacted any of the airline shipping reps in person as I am awaiting the info stating that Ecuador allows the import of pet birds. Not sure of the time from the US west coast to an Ecuadorian port (probably Manta). You might be able to travel on a cargo ship that accepts passengers and could possibly travel with the birds in that manner. From what I have found all their flights originating in the US connect through Mexico City which translates into a very long time for the birds to be in their shipping facilities. Aero Mexico appears to still accept birds for international shipping as cargo only. All that if Ecuador even allows import of birds. CITES may have to be involved for approval as well. Also I think you have to get approval from the USDA to ship from the US and a veterinarian examination (check what diseases must be tested by Ecuadorian regulations) which is valid for a limited time, maybe up to 30 days. As I mentioned in a previous post, finding an airline to ship the birds seems almost impossible. May end up volunteering for a conservation foundation which means spending a number of months in the Guayaquil area before moving to the higher altitudes and the eastern slopes of the Andes. for 3 weeks to finalize living facilities and such. Still have to sell my house and jump through the paperwork hoops. Finally got to fully retire 3 weeks ago tomorrow so haven't moved as yet.
