Can a Parrot Be Transported to Ireland?

A route from Spain may be possible, but it must be assessed for the individual bird and current Irish requirements before payment or booking.

Answer

A commercial movement from Spain to Ireland can proceed only when the individual bird and route meet the applicable conditions. Irish DAFM guidance requires, among other things, registered premises, a qualifying residency period, healthy birds and an Intra Trade Animals Health Certificate generated in TRACES NT by an official government veterinarian.

CITES must be checked separately using the scientific species, specimen source and proposed transaction. Do not assume that an Appendix label alone determines every document.

Ask for the identified bird's records and a written allocation of responsibilities before making any commitment.

Which Irish airport will receive the bird?

No airport is guaranteed by this page. The lawful route, carrier and any official-control requirements must be confirmed for the individual commercial movement.

Are Ireland and Great Britain the same route?

No. Ireland applies EU intra-trade animal-health rules to a commercial movement from Spain, while Great Britain has a separate import system. Do not reuse one route's documents or assumptions for the other.
