Moving birds interstate is made a lot easier as long as a few steps are followed before they travel.

Here are some suggestions that will make the transfer smoother.

Most birds will need a permit to go into Western Australia. Any exotic birds that require a permit in their existing home state must have a permit in the State to which they are travelling. We will need a copy of the permits.

Birds cannot be transported in their usual cages. They must travel in an IATA approved travel crate, which can be provided by Animal Travel if required.

Birds and hot weather do not mix! If you are travelling to a warmer climate, or during summer, the birds MUST travel on early morning flights. Once they arrive, make sure that there is an area where they can be kept cool, but not in direct line of an air conditioner.
