REDCHEQHEN Posted February 11, 2009 Report Posted February 11, 2009 Northern Ireland or Southern Ireland (not that I can help - but different rules might apply) Bringing birds from Belgium to England - all you needed was a vaccination sheet from the country of origin (Belgium) showing that the birds had their PMV vaccine
pjc Posted February 11, 2009 Report Posted February 11, 2009 I thought there were restrictions, you may find more info on your DEFRA equivelant web site.
Guest Dublin lofts Posted February 11, 2009 Report Posted February 11, 2009 if your going in a car no paper work is needed just put them in the boot of your car,we took back 9 to dublin from blackpool . 8)
Guest Posted February 11, 2009 Report Posted February 11, 2009 Officially you need a health cert and they need to be vacc'd. If your stopped over here they will destroy the birds, i always had one just in case. Quote the email they sent me: Mick, as per conditions 1 and 2 of the terms and conditions relating to the import, the birds must be accompanied by a health cert certified by an official vet of the exporting country and a veterinary cert from a registered veterinary practitioner to state that the pigeons in the consignment have been vaccinated against Paramyxovirus I disease using an inactivated vaccine. the form of advance notice may be faxed to 01-6619031 at least 24hrs in advance of arrival date. you could e-mail it if you can mail a signed copy.. regards John

REDCHEQHEN Posted February 11, 2009 Report Posted February 11, 2009 I thought there were restrictions, you may find more info on your DEFRA equivelant web site. I think its 5 if you are referring to numbers from Defra site What are the controls on pet bird imports from within the EU? The import of 5 or fewer pet birds from another EU Member State does not require a licence or quarantine as long as the birds are not poultry. They must also not be intended for commercial purposes. If the bird species are poultry then the birds must be imported under poultry rules. If there are 6 or more non-poultry birds then they must come under the captive bird rules. What are the controls on imports of captive birds from within the EU? Captive birds are defined under EU rules as non-poultry birds. There is no prohibition on movements within the EU of captive birds from anywhere outside disease restricted areas. An Intra Trade Animal Health Certificate is required for commercially traded psittacines, such as parrots and cockatiels.
micko and jack Posted February 11, 2009 Report Posted February 11, 2009 don't be worrying about the customs do yourself a favour save your money everyone knows the best birds are breed IN IRELAND lol

REDCHEQHEN Posted February 11, 2009 Report Posted February 11, 2009 Prob is pigeons are classed as poultry! Taken from DEFRA site 1. “Captive birds†are considered to be the types of birds usually kept as a hobby, for pleasure, scientific interest or sport, including racing pigeons and birds of prey. 3. “Poultry†is defined in Council Directive 90/539/EEC (as amended) as fowl, turkeys, guinea fowl, ducks, geese, quails, pigeons (not racing pigeons), partridges and ratites. These species are not permitted to be imported as “captive or pet birds†but must instead meet the requirements laid down in Community law for imports of live poultry (see IIN A/6).

I think they only class them as racing pigeons when in transort for liberation etc, customs will just class them as poultry. If you are not careful they won't let them in as has happened a few times with birds brought back from Lier etc having to be left on the dockside!
