: I am the owner of Murphy, a blue faced
: Amazon. My daughter lives in Canada
: and we have done some research into
: bringing Murphy to visit her. We
: even went so far as going inside at
: the Canadian border and also making
: a phone call to the border. Both
: results were the same. We were told
: that in order to cross the border
: with Murphy we would have to arrange
: for a vet to be there both going and
: coming for a charge of $50 each time
: to check out Murphy. Murphy travels
: very well and actually goes back and
: forth to Florida with us every year.
: Unfortunately, we have opted not to
: bring him to Canada because of the
: expense, but also if they did find
: something wrong with him and
: wouldn't let us take him across,
: we'd have to return home. We now
: have a house sitter that stays with
: Murphy. According to Canadian
: officials, this is all because blue
: faced Amazons are considered an
: endangered species. Murphy is 22
: years old and was actually born in
: the Amazon.
