Hello PetRelocation,

 

Please could you give me the approximate costs and what would be required? I cannot do the relocation as I am in a wheelchair. We love them very much.

 

Thanks,

 

 

Hi E.,

 

Thank you for your question, we'd be happy to help with some information. First, please review the pet import requirements for the United States, and for your African Grey, here are a few tips for traveling with birds.

 

The costs of this move will depend on a few factors, but you can expect to spend up to a few thousand dollars (USD) once flight costs, travel crates and vet visits are taken into account. For more information about general pet travel best practices, please review these essential pet travel tips, as well.

Good luck with your travels!
