Our Services
Our skills cover the complete parrot relocation process from the UK to the UAE. Every service we offer is designed to meet international aviation, quarantine, and welfare standards, ensuring your parrot’s journey is safe and compliant.
Pre-Flight Health Assessment and Documentation
Before departure, your parrot must meet strict veterinary and import criteria. Our team coordinates full health assessments through licensed avian veterinarians who understand the specific needs of parrots. We arrange pre-travel check-ups, vaccination reviews, and any tests required under UAE import laws.
We also manage the entire documentation process—DEFRA export permits, veterinary health certificates, and airline-approved paperwork. Clients often find this the most complex stage, but we handle each form accurately to prevent last-minute travel delays.
Custom Travel Crate Design and Preparation
The right travel environment matters for your parrot’s well-being. We supply IATA-approved travel crates that are designed specifically for parrots’ comfort and safety. Proper ventilation, visibility, and perch placement help your bird remain calm throughout the flight.
Our specialists measure and construct the crate according to your parrot’s size and breed. We also provide acclimatisation guidance so your parrot can get familiar with the crate before travel. A calm parrot travels better, ensuring a safer and more relaxed journey from the UK to the UAE.
Flight Planning and Airline Coordination
Airline selection is crucial for live animal shipments. We coordinate directly with airlines that have experience handling exotic birds and follow best practices for in-cabin or cargo travel.
Each airline has its own regulations, so our team ensures that your parrot’s booking aligns with their animal welfare and temperature-control policies. We select routes with the fewest layovers to reduce travel time and coordinate with ground teams at both airports for immediate handling upon arrival.
Quarantine and Import Permit Management
UAE import requirements demand thorough documentation and pre-approval before shipment. We manage the full permit process, working closely with UAE authorities to obtain import clearance before travel.
Our service includes verification of microchip records, vaccination compliance, and advanced coordination with UAE quarantine officers. For clients relocating under tight timelines, we ensure all approvals are secured to avoid detention or rejection of the parrot upon arrival.
Customs Clearance and Arrival Handling
When your parrot lands in the UAE, customs clearance is the most time-sensitive step. We arrange an experienced ground handling agent at the destination airport who manages customs declarations, document verification, and safe release.
Our team monitors flight tracking and arrival coordination, ensuring that your parrot is cleared immediately and without unnecessary holding time. We remain available throughout the process until your parrot is safely in your possession.
In-Transit Care and Temperature Control
Maintaining your parrot’s health during transit is our top priority. Birds are sensitive to temperature changes and noise, especially during air travel. We use airlines with climate-controlled animal compartments and ensure proper handling at transfer points.
Our team communicates directly with airline animal staff to confirm that your parrot is housed in appropriate conditions at every stage of the trip. From food and hydration routines to pre-boarding preparation, we minimize any distress factors.
Door-to-Door Relocation Coordination
For clients seeking complete convenience, we offer a full door-to-door relocation service. This includes collection from your UK address, transport to the departure airport, customs handling, and final delivery in the UAE.
This option suits busy professionals, families, and corporate relocations who need a fully managed process. Our team keeps you informed throughout every stage via direct communication, so you always know where your parrot is and when it will arrive.
Post-Arrival Care and Settlement Guidance
After arrival, your parrot may need time to adjust to the new environment and climate. We offer post-arrival care advice and connect you with trusted avian veterinarians in the UAE for follow-up check-ups if needed.
Our relocation specialists provide feeding and acclimatisation guidelines customised to your parrot’s needs. This service ensures your bird settles comfortably into its new surroundings without stress.

Frequently Asked Questions
What documentation is needed for parrot relocation from the UK to the UAE?
Your parrot will require a veterinary health certificate, an export permit from DEFRA, and an import permit from the UAE authorities. We manage all paperwork on your behalf.
Can my parrot travel in the cabin?
This depends on the airline’s live animal policy. Some carriers allow small birds in-cabin; others require cargo transport. We advise based on your parrot’s size and airline restrictions.
How far in advance should I start the process?
Ideally, preparations should begin at least 4 to 6 weeks before departure to allow time for health checks, permits, and crate acclimatisation.
Is quarantine required in the UAE?
Quarantine requirements vary depending on your parrot’s health status and recent vaccinations. We confirm this during the planning phase to avoid any surprises at arrival.
How is my parrot kept safe during the flight?
Your parrot is placed in a temperature-controlled section of the aircraft and handled only by trained animal staff. Crates are secured to prevent movement and maintain airflow.
Do you arrange onward transport after customs clearance?
Yes. We can coordinate delivery directly to your home or another specified address within the UAE.
Are there restrictions on parrot species?
Yes. Some species require additional CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species) documentation. We assist with all necessary submissions.
Do you provide updates during transit?
Yes. We offer communication updates throughout your parrot’s journey so you remain informed from departure to arrival.
Can you assist with multiple parrots?
Absolutely. We arrange grouped or individual crate solutions depending on the species and airline guidelines.
Do you provide avian vet services after arrival?
We work with registered avian veterinarians in the UAE who provide follow-up health assessments and adjustment advice.
