I know a breeder here but no one who has brought their bird with them.  I do not know the process. Sorry.

Thank you.

I found this on the USDA website. The requirements might be different from Europe, but the contacts here are both DR offices.

An Import Permit is required to bring your pet bird(s) into the Dominican Republic.

Thank you very much

@Tippj very kind of you.

@planner can you provide me with that info. I am in Santo Domingo, thanks

Welcome to the forums Juandavilladk.  Sorry what info are you asking for?

On macaw breeders in the USA

I have no idea!   This is the DR forum so breeders in the USA?  Now you have me confused

Has anyone has any luck ?? I am relocating to DR and have 4 parrots I need to bring with me but can’t find any airline to accept them 😩 I found the requirements and health documents and info on quarantine just no airline to accept them please help

@Lenaemomar

Not trying to be a wise ass, but perhaps this is something you should have researched before deciding to move here?

There is a high probability that they are not going to allow it unless they are birds native to the island. 

@Lenaemomar More and more people are having to resort to chartered flights to bring in pets. It's not cheap, but less heartbreaking than having to leave "family" behind.

@ddmcghee

Full disclosure, I have absolutely no facts to support my opinion.

That said, if I were thinking of avoiding legal prohibitions against importing birds into the DR by sneaking them into the country on a chartered flight, I'd have a Plan B for if and when the gendarmes come a-calling at the airport.

Yeah yer know birds are very prone to diseases. , getting them and transmitting them  ( remember the bird flu )and w/all the bird livestock over here  I would be very surprised if there wasn’t any major fine of maybe criminal penalties for sneaking them in like ddMcGhee says what is your plan “ B “ … not just this country but all countries are very strict about livestock coming across the borders….

You cannot bring in birds!  It's not allowed.

@planner

Planner has spoken!

My translation of her words is, "You will be in very deep doo-doo if you get caught smuggling in a bird.

🤣🤣🤣 you made me laugh!!!

This has come up a few times before.

No, no, no! I was certainly NOT advocating trying to sneak birds into the country! Chartering flights is in response to the commercial carriers not transporting birds. It's become much more difficult with dogs and cats as well, which is why people are using charters. I would never risk an animal's life, particularly a family pet, by trying to avoid the rules and regulations the DR has in place to protect the animals already here.

You are obviously not familiar with me or my posts, or you wouldn't have interpreted my post that way - I have complete respect for the laws of my guest country and am one of the biggest proponents of people entering this country legally and not overstaying.

Please - where did I say anything about sneaking birds into this country?  Jeez - the issue is that airlines won't transport birds! That's the issue I'm addressing by suggesting charters, just like people are having to do with dogs and cats, not trying to bypass the law!

Bottom line birds are prohibited period! 

@Lenaemomar You said you had all the info on documents, requirements, and quarantine. Did you confirm that you can legally bring the birds into the country? Your post implied that transportation was your only remaining obstacle.

Had this info from several years back. You may want to revalidate.
