"Another Fantastic Achievement,"Brian" Our beloved African Grey Parrot arrived safe and sound from the UK into Hong Kong! and is talking non stop! An amazing Team effort from Dr Gerry and all concerned. Brian had previously been exported from Hong Kong to the UK, and has now relocated again!!!!!! He now holds the record for the being the only African Grey to ever be shipped into the UK, and back into HK!! Everyone was amazing, all looking after his welfare and wellbeing! Dr Gerry as usual went above and beyond, and I have to say the UK and HK govt authorities were brilliant! If anyone ever needs to ship a Parrot from or into HK then Dr Gerry is the man you need, the paperwork, documents etc.. can be a little daunting, but trust me, Dr Gerry is the only Person in Hong Kong that can get the job done, and needless to say that your beloved pets welfare is always his priority! On behalf of my family and our beloved muppet "Brian" we thank you!!!!!"
