Thanks to the Shengen Area we can travel across whole European Union without any limitation. What is more, for the transport of birds we don’t need any import or export permission. All we need is simple veterinary certificate which proves that our animals come from the area of no epidemic. That’s why many of us go abroad and visit there breeders or birdmarkets.
The most valuable source of information for us is the internet. There we can find desirable species on several advertising websites.
Of course, nobody can speak all european languages. However, the situation is not so bad as we have the Google Translator (https://translate.google.cz). Shortly, we will found out that it’s necessary to know only a few key words of each language so we can use that websites comfortably.
The list of the biggest bird advertising websites follows:
Many breeders regularly visit the local birdmarket in Zwolle – the biggest in Europe – and in Meppel. There are three important websites:
VogelArena (http://www.vogelarena.com) represents the most popular one. It includes not only adding and browsing of the adverts but the part Volieres Online as well.

a
a
