Q. What are the regulations for bringing Myna birds from Iran [Tehran] to the United States? -- Azar M.

A. Hi Azar,

Shipping exotic species, like birds, reptiles and small mammals, requires additional research and paperwork. Pet Relocation ships exotic pets as part of our services, however, the below links should help you if you are interested in researching your pet bird's move.

Permits

CITES (or the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species) protects not only endangered species but also species that might become endangered due to international trade. If you are moving internationally with an exotic species, you will want to check the CITES Species Database to see if your pet is protected. All parrots are protected by CITES, and typically require both import and export CITES permits from their respective countries. These CITES permits can take up to 6 months to obtain from US Fish & Wildlife Services. Please check the US Fish & Wildlife Services - Animal Import & Export website.

Q. Hi, I am currently living in El Salvador, but am wanting to move back to Australia along with my two pups as soon as possible. I am aware Australia doesn't accept dogs straight from El Salvador; they will need to stay in the US for at least 6 months prior to entry into Aus. I really wouldn't know where to start on this or how to go about it, and I'm running out of time. Please help! -- Marta S., Perth, AU
