Birds

Birds will be quarantined in South Africa for a period of at least 30 days at a quarantine Station designated on the Import Permit. Such period of quarantine may be extended without notice and all veterinary treatments and tests which may be deemed necessary will be at owner's risk and expense.

In the case of any of these tests being found positive for any conditions not present in South Africa, or threatening the bird or poultry industry in any way, the bird(s) will be destroyed without compensation.

The importation is subject to compliance with Nature Conservation legislation (South African).

In quarantine in South Africa the owner must make prior arrangements for the supply of food.
