hi thanks keith for that, yes i am the one who brought 2 of the parrots over, and yes you need to go to defra, i went with a company called jets for pets and have to say the lady who helped us was great, you can find the address on the web. i will say that if you have turkish neighbours be aware they may not like it, mine like most of them whistle and talk ,and i have a neighbour who for the first month of being here, tryed to tell me that you could not have a parrot in doors the law does not allow you, as i told him if they did not allow it then why did i have to go through all i did to get them here, and i have a very good vet here who also said that parrots should be keep safe as they are endangerd, well needless to say he has now given up haha, and all the other neighbours whistle back.
you will have to take the birds to the vet a few days befor you travel to get your forms signed by him, to say they are safe to travel, as mentioned above i am not sure how you will stand with the bird flu thing, but you can only try, if like us and many other pet owners its to hard to leave them behind, so i wish you luck if i can help you in any way please email .... Via my profile.... head it birds to turkey. you could always move next door to me in the hope the old man over the road hates it so much and moves lol, only joking . good luck
