Emotional Support Animals allowed in other countries/back to US without quarantine?

I was wondering big anyone knows if it's possible to get Ollie to France as an Emotional Support Animal (ESA) without a long quarantine (when going to and from the US to Europe) that is usually required. Does it make a difference? I mean...if I go to France for 2 months and have to leave him in so random government facility for 30 days I will both make it out of there emotionally intact. Just as a caviot, I'm not actually planning this trip but is like to IF I can take my birdie !

Three words I have for you, research, research, research.

It is amazing what the internet beholds if you seek? Don't forget the search facilty on here also and it has prob come up over the years.

Here is one thread I have found on here I will leave the reading to you http://www.parrotforums.com/questions-answers/64515-emotional-support-animals.html

Bit more to get you started https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pet_passport

I did have a look into this when I had Rio as he seemed to be helping me with my issues. I can only speak for the UK but ESA is not recognized over here and appears through my own cursory look before to be a US only thing. I actually stumpled on a story of someone with an ESA dog and they were refused entry into France from the UK. I will say it was a while ago I looked into this and it did seem she didn't have some necessary paperwork. I would research and maybe even send an email to the US embassy in france to see if they can help?

Please understand that in today's World the legal movement of Parrot (Birds) can change rapidly! If I recall correctly, this Spring no Birds where allowed from specific areas of Western Europe because of both over Winter and Migration occurrence of Bird Flu! There had also been a couple of Hot Spots in North America.

So, as we move though the more stable Summer months, Falls Migration is coming onto the Horizon! Regardless of whether you have all the Paperwork, if a Country elects to halt movement of 'Birds' You are either not leaving or not entering that Country regardless of your Parrot's specific Status!

All of the Health Certificates that I have seen are for a 30 day window. Once that period ends, you are required to obtain a new certificate! If you are outside of your Home Country, your will have to get a Health Certificate from a 'Certified Avian Vet' in the Country you are located.

As Stated above, you really need to be working with the Country's that you will be traveling too! It would be recommended that you include those Countries surrounding the one you are visiting just in case your flight is routed to another Country!

The World is no longer a simple place, traveling is now demanding! Those unprepared will suffer!

FYI: Proof of Ownership is much more demanding in Europe than currently in North America! Assure that you have the needed documents (in addition to all the others) to prove Ownership of your Parrot! A long and supportable yearly use of an Avian Vet is of great help in creating the document base! If your Parrot was hatched on or since 2, January 2017, you need to have the Birth Document and Purchase Receipt of your Parrot.

Showing up at the Airport and traveling the World! Is today: Once Upon A Time thinking! Being over prepared is what work!

FYI: Quarantine of Companion Parrots and 'most' Pets have been replaced by the Signed Health Certificate by a Certified Avian Vet for Parrots! That and the other documents are all driven to greatly eliminate the need to quarantine.

I would personally be extremely leery of travelling out of the country with an ESA animal, particularly a bird. Some nations will precisely apply the law, others may be variable with entry point and individual. IMO far too risky from the POV of quarantine or even confiscation!

This has all been very very helpful. I'm going to do more research on the subject. We really want to go to France with Ollie possibly next summer for 2 months. I definitely would not go for that long without him. NO WAY. I'm going to write the French Embassy and see what they have to say about it.

That is a great starting point! As always, get assurances in writing!!!!

Yeah I definitely will get it all in writing for sure.
