Thanks everyone for the info, Liz and Highlander, I think that article in the Sun Express is a bit out of date, I thought the deposit on household goods had been stopped, plus they state about pets and you cannot bring a bird into Turkey or any other country as airlines will not fly them since the bird flu epidemic.
Falcon I will check Dolphin Movers out here in Qatar and see what they say, I am still waiting a reply from one shipping company here and from the Turkish Embassy here in Doha.
Will let you all know what they say.
Thanks for all your help.
