There have recently been at least two pet birds trying to re-enter the United States that were confiscated because they lacked required paperwork. The right information is simply not reaching the right people... Please share where appropriate, particularly with your club's newsletter editor. ''Birds and the Law''
Ignorance won’t save you or your bird if you unknowingly break these animal-specific laws

| Health Certificate & 30-Day Isolation Statement Requirements |

----- Forwarded Message ---- From: PJ Boosinger To: Kathy Heaton ' http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/Bird_Breeder-Hobbyist' < kbheaton@swbell.net> Sent: Fri, December 3, 2010 9:30:22 PM Subject: How Ollie got to Germany, may have been cheap & easy Kathy, Please feel free to pass this along as you see appropriate.
I've seen some postings questioning Ollie's owner's responsibility and how she could have gotten Ollie to Germany without expecting the same level of expense, etc. on return. It is important to note that getting Ollie to Germany may have been quite simple.
The EU has established fairly easy procedures for transporting pet animals between countries, even has a provision for the animals to have "passports" of a fashion. In addition, the EU countries give favorable treatment to animals coming into their countries from certain other countries, including the US and Canada, if those pets accompany their owners. For example, an owner of a bird may be able to import it to Germany with a mere health certificate and a formal statement that the bird has been in isolation for 30 days prior to travel.

Learning a Lesson from "Ollie" and What Can Be Done to Ensure that Your Bird Is NOT Confiscated

Excellent, common sense response. One could expect one's veterinarian to do so, but they're not required to stay abreast of federal import regs - only medical issues - and I honestly don't see much incentive to them for change there. I guess pet owners will continue to fall through the cracks...

Hi Kathy,
This is a very good point. If the only way to receive a health certificate is through a veterinarian, then perhaps they should be the source of the information on what is required on the return trip? I think it's a bit late to do much to prepare for the return trip when you are already at the airport preparing to depart overseas. The airport could hand you a brochure, but at that point it's too late to do anything about it unless you were to postpone the trip which isn't feasible.
My best,
Irena
