You will also need a health declaration

I brought 6pair over to Portugal in 2011 and used the dover/calais ferry, I had the birds vaccinated for parra/pox the vet gave me a letter stating same and said he checked them and declaired them fit and healthy and free of any disease [he didnt charge me a penny]. I also had the dog vaccinated and chipped [which did cost] the upshot was no one at any border crossing even looked nor asked for any certification lol.
