A commercial import may be possible, but the individual bird, premises and route must satisfy current CITES and animal-health requirements.
A commercial captive-parrot import into England, Scotland or Wales may be possible only if the individual bird, source premises and route satisfy the applicable rules. Current GOV.UK guidance covers approved breeding premises, a pre-export residency period, laboratory testing, official health certification, individual identification, transport-container requirements, entry through an appropriate Border Control Post and at least 30 days in approved post-import quarantine.
CITES is a separate control. Check the scientific species, specimen source, Annex status and transaction with APHA and the Spanish management authority. Do not pay, enter a contract or book transport until the necessary permits and route are confirmed.
There is no universal timeframe. Permit decisions, premises approval, testing, certification, transport and quarantine arrangements each have separate lead times.
Not automatically. A bird sold and transported to a new owner is a commercial movement. Confirm the correct category and route with APHA before paying or travelling.
