Newstart Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Hi Bob, I understand you don't answer questings relating to flying pets to the UK. However, I wondered if you have transported budgies from UK to OZ and if so, what is your experince on the impact it has on the birds? I am quite worried what to do about my pet budgie who is around 8 years old. I would love to take her, but I worry because of her age, it could be too much for her (even kill her). If I leave her here; do budgies fret for their owners? As she is close to my father and he talks to her all the time even though she doesn't come out of the cage. Another issue is he wants to leave her behind in an aviary. This concerns me because she got into fights in the breeding box and we have never kept another bird with her. She does like being put outside to talk to the wild birds. I just wouldn't like to see her injured. And having her own cage and toys is what she is used to. So any advice on what is best to do for the sake of her would be much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobPetairUK Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Hey I am sure you cant take birds from UK to Australia as the Australians will not allow it. check out http://www.aqis.gov.au for more information. Sorry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Pom Queen Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Unfortunately, I'm sorry to say, Bob is correct you cannot ship birds to Australia from the UK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest chris955 Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Unfortunately you can send dogs, cats, horses, sheep, goats, donkeys, alpacas and many other things but not budgies I'm afraid. It would cost an absolute fortune anyway even if it were possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johndoe Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 [h=2]Flying a budgie overseas - is it too much for the bird?[/h] Probably. Mine can't even fly round the living room, let alone all that way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newstart Posted October 17, 2012 Author Share Posted October 17, 2012 For the sake of anyone else that reads this in the future, I am afraid I am going to have to correct you all. I have already done the research ages ago. Commercial export of native birds is not allowed. However, you can export up to three native birds that are pets! I also, don't require a permit since budgies don't fall under CITES. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not suree where you looked, but I've just been on the Australian Government AQIS site and it seems to say that pet birds can only be brought in from New Zealand. http://www.daff.gov.au/aqis/cat-dogs/other Please post an alternative link that says otherwise to prove me wrong, but this is what I found. Ignore me - I've just realised you are looking at taking the budgie from Australia not bringing it in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For exporting out of Australia then you are correct, look here http://www.environment.gov.au/biodiversity/wildlife-trade/live/household-pets.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As in another thread you asked about taking food stuff back to the uk! Not sure about taking birds from oz to uk and what the rules are? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest71686 Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 I would say that a budgie would get too tired flying over 10,000 miles from the UK to OZ it would have to beat its wings lots and lots and lots :tongue: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul1Perth Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Had to laugh at your post title. Had visions of a poor budgie being made to fly one way or the other and someone asking is it too much for the bird.:laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rikyuu Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 I don't think a budgie will make it, they can't fly that far. (bugger someone beat me to it). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newstart Posted October 18, 2012 Author Share Posted October 18, 2012 Haha you guys are too funny. Well she can't fly there on her own as she is out of shape from all the honey seed treats she eats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
