Why would you want to do that? Haven't you heard? The best birds in the world are in SA.
No sir. I have not, but maybe Tony can fill you in on exporting policies.

No sir.
To tell you the truth, the cost would far outweigh the benefit. I know of guys getting them in other countries, and it is very expensive. Don't you like the gene pool in England? Surely there are top shelf breeders you can aquire for a fraction of the cost of importing them.

I think that Wayne just had a few eggs shipped to him from over here. I think that 2 or 3 out of 6 successfully hatched! Might be something to consider! Timing would be tricky though!

I dont know about exporting birds but the last time I imported birds from England it ended up being about 150 per bird. They have to go through a quarantine either in NY or Miami at three dollars a day per bird and then be shipped to you. That is above and beyond the cost of the birds. That was also in the 1990's.
