Kritta-Krates� Pet Transport is one of the few pet transporters that will transport birds.

Export procedures for birds has its own unique set of problems as many airlines refuse to transport birds as cargo. Talk to us about this as we can advise you on airline requirements. Depending on the country of destination, the protocols involved with transporting birds abroad is far stricter than for cats and dogs.

All birds must be issued with a Department of Conservation 'Authority to Export' - permit and depending upon the species of bird to be exported, may also require an additional Cites permit from the Department of Conservation prior to export.

Some species of birds will require 'In House' quarantine both in New Zealand and in the country of destination. This quarantine is supervised by MAF in New Zealand.
In most cases an import permit from the country of destination is required and it is possible that the official department in that country may require Department of Conservation documents be applied for and faxed to them before an import permit is granted from the country of destination.

It is therefore advisable to explore carefully the problems involved with bird exports and contacting us to discuss your potential export will be mutually helpful.

We manufacture air travel bird cages to International Air Transport (I.A.T.A) specifications and regulations depending on the species of bird to be exported.
These cages are designed to International standards for a purpose. Be wary of exporters using plain boxes or altered animal cages to export birds. Birds are known to be notoriously fickle travellers and the air travel cage has been internationally designed for the welfare and health of your bird during the export process.
