It ist usually not expensive to get an dog or a cat. You can ask elseone if you arrive here. Usually you get the young animals for less or for nothing. About parrots I don´t know. But you can also ask a local vet.
By the way you can get dogfood easily, quality catfood is difficult to get or very expensive. Other animalfood, e. g. for parrots I havn´t seen so far in the shops.
May you can import it if you are on status of a diplomat. Work permit for spouse is difficult or unimpossible - may you ask your embassy.
