This page seems to have more of the information you need:

Bring a Pet Bird into the United States

This page will guide you through the requirements for bringing pet birds into the United States from another country.

I think you need to check with the airline too. Some require specific carriers. Some will allow a bird with you. Others require the bird be in cargo. Obviously with you is preferable.

do you think theirs a carrier just for animals etc

 

[sunnysmom]

do you think theirs a carrier just for animals etc

Yes. If you look on Delta for instance I think they show some or list requirements. It is airline specific.

Hi, I am assuming that you are talking about a bird that was hatched in Bangladesh, is that correct? The following is for a bird that was hatched in Bangladesh.

The CITES information for the United States isn't really what you are looking for, yes you should read it but customs is going to have you fill out the Declaration for Importation or Exportation form 3-177. Really all the US is doing is verifying that you legally left Bangladesh with their permission, check your forms and collect import fees. They always required me to see a USDA Veterinarian within 10 days of arrival, they will hopefully have a list to give to you. Of course I must say it has been a few years since I took my birds out of the country and returned with them.

What you need to do is contact the CITES office in Bangladesh for the proper paperwork and their procedures The application that you are going to have to fill out is from them. They should be able to give you contact information for an Fish and Wildlife office in the United States close to where you will be flying into. I would always call ahead, letting them know that I am coming and to double check that I had everything I needed for them before I got on that plane. You will need an International Health Certificate. You would need to check with the airline that you will be flying with for an approved crate and their required modifications. I have always used an airline approved dog/cat crate and modified it however they told me to. The one below works fine for smaller birds. I have large birds and they can chew their way out of the plastic ones, so I used the aluminum airline approved crates for them.


Here is the link to the Bangladesh CITES office and I found some forms online

That is all I can think of at the moment but if you have question feel free to ask, I do not know if I can answer but I will do my best.
I wish you the best of luck and safe travels

Apart from the great advice @Aviphile gave you, when I was bringing my 2 from Canada to the UK, one had a closed breeders band, which was good, but the one without a band had to be microchipped. I'm not sure if this applies for travel to the US or not, but you may want to check into that.
Also, there is usually a 30 day quarantine period before travelling. Again, I'm not sure if this applies to travelling to the US or not, but it's something else to find out about through the appropriate authorities.

As I stated before those were my experiences coming back into the U.S. after being over seas because the question in my understanding was about bringing birds that had hatched in Bangladesh back to the US from Bangladesh and not going out to another country. Did I miss understand? Microchipping was never a requirement here in the U.S. but I know it has been, across much of Europe for a while. I haven't read anything about it being a new requirement to come to U.S., it isn't even a requirement for any pet in the U.S.. Quarantine requirements are going to vary by country and the purpose of import. i.e. personal pet, breeder bird, zoo animal, and scientific research. Without all the specifics the waters are to muddy to wade through. CITES covers a vast number of applications, live animals, dead animal parts (even a single feather can require CITES paperwork) and plants. New things get added to the CITES umbrella all the time.

I standby what I originally said the CITES office in Bangladesh should be the first call. They will have the paperwork, they should have the most current contact information for the CITES official in the country that are going to, in this case the U.S.. They will know of any current travel restrictions and should know current quarantine requirements. Since the pandemic the world has had a heightened awareness of Zoonotic Diseases and their impact on the world, as I am sure you all will agree. Hopefully changes have been implemented.

Things have changed a lot since I was last out of the country. I know I was asked to go back over to Europe in the early 2000's by the following article it was 2005-2006 and when I called to see about taking the birds, they couldn't go! Europe restricted the importation of birds, even pet birds because of an Avian Flu outbreak, so I declined. I will tell you the exact same thing I told branch. I feel like as a dual military family I have made enough sacrifices. I have left my kids and birds behind for deployments I am not going to do it for a PCS move and if you need me to drop my retirement paperwork, just let me know! I didn't go and I didn't retire

Ann I had trouble getting CITES paperwork here in the U.S. in the mid to late 1980's because of no leg bands. One bird never had one and the other one it had to be removed. I took them to the Vet and they put a tatoo of my last 4 SSN on their wings, one side male and the other for female but I can't remember which. It looked good for a quite a while but over a long time the ink just kind of migrated and it ended up looking like a blob. They used those tatoo's as their identifiers for the CITES paperwork microchips weren't out yet.

Microchipping pets as a way of identification started in 1989 and is still the best way to ensure your pet gets back to you if they get lost.

All of my travels I have never had to board a bird for quarantine, home quarantine yes. Was it just a sign of the times, being military, because of my job/education, being an American, just the country I went to or the country I came from, I can't answer that, because I don't know.

I have obtained CITES paperwork for pets that we got while outside the U.S., Europe to be specific but they weren't birds. The process was pretty much the same as it was for the U.S. except we were given paperwork when we bought the pet and it was partially filled out. We knew it was a CITES animal, we knew it would require additional paperwork to bring back to the U.S.. In the U.S. I have never gotten anything like that for any animal, even a CITES protected animal that I purchased. For the longest time most people didn't even have a clue that they would be required to jump through hoops to take their pets with them outside the U.S. or what that paperwork meant when they bought a CITES pet overseas. I think my phone # was on speed dial for all the Military Liaison Offices, at every military installation I have been stationed at both home and abroad, what the military refers to as conus or oconus. It is a lot easier now that it ever was back then, the invent of the internet and being digital has changed everything!

Well that's my

And once all that is done, be aware that not all airlines allow birds. It's a lot to go through, but once the original paperwok is done, it will get easier.

thank u alot, ill keep this in mind

Also, where in the US would the bird be living? I think ringnecks can't be kept legally in some states. I may be confusing them with another breed, though.

 

[A.K]

I believe ring necks are legal everywhere - quakers do have states that it is forbidden to sell.
