Hello Dear Bird Loving Friends! I am finally moving back to Canada (from Maine) to be near my baby granddaughter. . . but I have just spent the last 2.5 hours on the Canada border website researching what is required to bring Noco across the border and it is HELLISHLY complicated. I am terrified of the process - They list (on about 10 different pages) forms and procedures that are really hard to follow, do not tell me WHERE to get all the forms or which ones I need, they call for various CFIA veterinary inspections (among others), and lastly and most horrifying is the requirement for FORTY FIVE DAYS of quarantine in an approved facility with a certified vet on duty and all this at my expense. But nowhere does it say WHAT that expense will be or how one finds such a facility. There are NO LIVE HUMANS to ask - it is all online. I am heartbroken and so worried about how this will all go. . . SOOOOoooooo I am reaching out to all of YOU in the hopes that someone out there has imported a bird from the USA to Canada. (I wanted to import my three pet hens as well, but after all this I fear that it might be best to leave them with my sister who loves hens and has some herself.) ANY WORDS OF WISDOM appreciated. Please reply IF YOU HAVE IMPORTED. Thank you so so much. Love, Maya (& Noco).
