Post: Bringing a parrot across the border?

Posted by Jack on 8/17/07

Hello, I live in Canada. I was wondering if with the
proper paperwork/indentification/heath exams, etc if it is
possible to bring a parrot from the United States into
Canada.

I heard that one could obtain a "pet passport", for
temporary visits. But I am wondering if it is at all
possible to buy a bird from the United States and bring it
into Canada permanantly, and if so what would the
procedure be?

I am very interested in a species of parrot, that I can
not find in my area. It would either be to have it
shipped within Canada (I am not too fond of shipping) or
there is a breeder who is a reasonable driving distance
away across the border.

Is it possible to buy the bird in the US and bring it into
Canada with the proper paperwork or is it next to
impossible.

I am sorry if this is a stupid question. I'm thinking its
not very possible to do so, but figured I'd ask anyways

Thanks.
