International Pet Courier Service for Birds
When your bird needs to travel, nothing matters more than safety, comfort, and trust. At Pets Let’s Travel, we understand how much your bird means to you. You want them handled with care, not treated like cargo. That’s exactly what we do.
At Pets Let’s Travel, we provide reliable bird courier service worldwide, with complete legal documentation and flight arrangements done for you so you can have peace of mind.
Whether you’re moving abroad, rehoming a bird, or managing avian transfers for clients, we make the process simple and stress-free.
Our Services
Our pet courier services for birds cover the entire spectrum of getting your pet from its current home to its new destination, providing expert care and planning for every stage of its journey.
Below are the ways we make that happen, whether you’re sending a parrot, cockatoo, canary, or exotic species.
Domestic and International Bird Transport
Moving a bird requires more than booking a ticket. It needs expertise. Our avian couriers manage the full transport process from the UK to the EU and overseas. We ensure all airline regulations, veterinary requirements, and customs checks are completed before departure.
- Door-to-door collection and delivery
- Flight bookings with approved animal carriers
- Coordination with veterinary health checks and export paperwork
- Safe handling throughout the journey
We manage every detail so your bird travels safely, arrives calm, and settles quickly.
Custom Travel Crate Preparation
Every bird has different needs based on size, species, and temperament. We prepare secure travel crates designed to give your bird comfort and airflow during transit. Each crate meets International Air Transport Association (IATA) regulations for avian travel.
- Ventilated, escape-proof enclosures
- Perches installed for resting and balance
- Absorbent flooring for hygiene
- Labeled with handling instructions and your contact details
Proper crate preparation reduces stress and keeps your bird stable throughout long-distance transport.
Veterinary Coordination and Health Certification
Health checks are critical for international bird travel. We handle all pre-flight veterinary appointments, vaccinations, and health documentation required by destination authorities.
- DEFRA-approved vets for export certification
- Disease screening and microchip verification
- Full compliance with EU and overseas import rules
- Medical records prepared for customs inspection
By managing your bird’s health certification, we prevent costly delays and ensure a smooth border entry.
Flight Arrangements and Live Animal Booking
Airline logistics can be confusing, especially for first-time shippers. We coordinate all live animal bookings and monitor flight schedules closely to ensure minimal waiting time.
- Approved airline partnerships for animal transport
- Real-time updates on flight progress
- 24/7 monitoring from departure to arrival
- Emergency contact line for peace of mind
You’ll always know where your bird is and when they’ll arrive safely at their new home. Talk to us now, and let’s map your travel timeline together.
Customs and Import/Export Clearance
Cross-border movement for birds comes with documentation and inspection requirements. Our pet courier service includes handling all customs formalities.
- Export and import declarations
- CITES permits for protected species
- Liaison with destination authorities
- Airport clearance and delivery coordination
We stay updated on every regulation, saving you time and avoiding complications at customs checkpoints.
Safe Ground Transport and Collection

- Temperature-controlled vehicles
- Secure and quiet environments
- GPS-tracked journeys
- Professional handlers trained for bird transport
Each step of the journey is managed by people who care as much as you do.
Specialist Handling for Exotic and Sensitive Birds
Exotic birds like macaws, cockatoos, and African greys need extra care. Our team understands their behaviour and provides a calm, quiet environment during transit.
- Trained handlers experienced with exotic species
- Care routines followed during long trips
- Custom crate adjustments for wing span and perch comfort
- Rest and feeding breaks when required
We know each bird is unique, and we treat them with the same attention you would at home.

- Arrival verification with recipient
- Guidance on post-travel feeding and hydration
