Hallo Hans,
ja, in der Tat. Wir fanden es ebenfalls unglaublich! Wir können zudem froh sein, dass wir Grünwangenrotschwanzsittiche haben, und keine andere Art. Denn daran könnte es - vermutlich - bei deinen Bekannten gescheitert sein. Nicht jede Art darf Australien verlassen!
Desweiteren ist die Ausfuhr aus Australien und auch die Einfuhr in Singapur sehr sehr strikt geregelt. Mein Freund hat sich wochenlang damit beschäftigt, die nötigen Dokumente herbei zu schaffen. Daran, also an der akribischen Bürokratie, scheitern Viele. Man hat nur eine Chance, wenn man unbedingt will und sich nicht sofort vom kleinsten Gegenwind umwehen lässt.
Die Vögel müssen komplett gesund sein und eine Impfung gegen Vogelgrippe bekommen - vor dem Transport. Wir haben mit vielen netten Menschen zusammengearbeitet und sind allen dafür sehr dankbar, dass alles so gut gelaufen ist.
Hier ein stichpunktartiger Auszug aus Ingo´s "To do - Liste" -> unabdingbar bei solch einem Vorhaben:

Unsere beiden Vögel hatten ein riesen Glück: sie mussten kein Blut abgeben. Es wurde lediglich in Australien ein Abstrich aus der Kloake genommen.
Auch in Singapur wurde ihnen kein Blut abgenommen. Alles gut :-)
Na - was sagst du? Angesichts dieses enormen Aufwandes kann ich mir gut vorstellen, dass viele Vogelbesitzer aufgeben, nicht durchblicken oder es gar nicht erst versuchen.... Doch was man zu diesem Vorhaben benötigt ist allein die große Liebe zu den Tieren. Und ein paar Englischkenntnisse sowie die Lust/Zeit, sich mit den einzeln benötigten Permits zu beschäftigen.
Viele Grüße
Konny
