Moving With Bird

I think someone mentioned to you in your other thread that your bird would have to go through quarantine, not something you want to put an animal through and doesn’t really make you a good candidate for parrot ownership.

You really want to wait until you return stateside before pursuing parrot ownership.

So I'm thinking of getting a bird that I would like to keep long-term, but in about 3-5 years, I will be moving out and likely somewhere far due to my job. The most likely place I will be moving is Guam, because I know a lot of people who worked there in the same field of work and can give me a lot of referrals.

So I'm wondering:

1) Is it easy to move birds that far (note that Guam is american territory, so no visas or anything like that)

2) What else should I know if I move a bird that far?

I would get the bird within the next year or so, if everything works out and it is possible to take it with me. Once I move there, I'll likely be there for the rest of my life so no moving, except maybe into a bigger house one day, but not 100% sure.

So the bird would be with me where I am now for, again, 3-5 years, and then I would move if I got a job offer.

Any advice is appreciated.
