Air cargo is the standard method for transporting parrots internationally, including from Spain to the UK and Ireland. Here is how it works and why it is safe.
Yes — air cargo is the established, standard method for transporting live parrots internationally. It is heavily regulated and, when done correctly, is a safe method of transport for healthy birds.
Key aspects of how it works:
Some stress is inevitable with any transport, but healthy, well-prepared birds handle it well. Hand-raised birds acclimated to their travel crate prior to travel show significantly less stress behaviour than poorly prepared individuals.
Several airlines carry live animals in cargo, including Iberia, British Airways World Cargo, and Lufthansa Cargo. The specific airline depends on routing and availability. We select the most appropriate and reliable option for each delivery.
