A commercial captive-bird movement within the EU requires more than a general CITES claim. Check the bird, premises, health certification and route before payment or booking.
A bird sold in Spain and transported to a new owner in Ireland is a commercial captive-bird movement. Do not treat it as ordinary pet travel. Record the scientific species, individual identification, source, current premises and destination before asking the authorities which rules apply.
No airport, carrier or onward-delivery arrangement is guaranteed by this page. A suitable route must be confirmed for the individual bird after the official certificate, CITES position, carrier acceptance, welfare plan and destination arrangements are understood.
Irish DAFM guidance states that captive birds traded between EU countries must be accompanied by an Intra Trade Animals Health Certificate generated in TRACES NT by an official government veterinarian. The premises and residency conditions must also be met.
No. The individual bird, documents, carrier, route and any official-control requirements must be confirmed before booking. A city page is not proof that a route is currently available.
Reviewed 14 September 2026. See Ireland's official DAFM guidance for captive birds moving from another EU country, then confirm the facts of the proposed movement with the competent authorities.
