Exporting birds. Hawks?


Recommended Posts

Hello, we are possibly moving to France in the future from the UK and I currently own and fly a Harris and Gos. I just wondered if anyone may be able to confirm as to whether or not I will be able to take the birds with me? I totally understand that to hunt with raptors in France you need a permis de chasser (hunting licence) and of course I will be going for that and hopefully will acheive it but the test you have to do is a general hunting test and quite extensive, now that bit I can hopefully deal with but it is also in French and although I am currently learning the language I will probably not be up to scratch by the time we go and so not able to sit the test for between 6-12 months. My question is, will I be able to export my birds (obviously with all correct ownership and health certs etc) and keep them as an owner at least until I get my permis de chasser or can I not even keep them in France without it? I have read and heard so many different views and answers on this but really do need a definite. I will obviously do all I can to find out from the appropriate French authorities but even that is not as simple as it may seems. Thanks in anticipation. And I very much look forward to any responses.
