If you are located too far away to visit us and pick up your bird, we have a couple options to choose from.
Delivering Birds
If you are located too far away to visit us and pick up your bird. We are located in the St. Clair Shores, MI. We can arrange a place to meet you or deliver your bird to your home. We currently charge .65 cents per mile round-trip plus any tolls, etc. Up to 200 miles one way. All these fees must be paid in advance.
Shipping by Airplane
Watch Out!
We do not ship birds through the mail, which is against Federal law (See USPS Publication 52 section 525.1). There are many people who do ship birds this way. Know it is not only illegal to ship, but you would be party to the act if you were to receive an illegal shipment. Make sure you ask in advance from others.
Shipping Details
Reservations are made 7 days in advance of the planned ship date. We only ship the 2 times each month. This is the maximum advanced reservation the carriers accept. Once all the arrangements have been confirmed with the carrier, you will receive a flight information document with all the details, complete with what you will need to do and bring with you. (We will not ship un-weaned birds. DO NOT ASK.. If you are adopting a baby that is still in the nursery you will place your order including the shipping fee, however the baby will not be shipped until weaned.)
You will place your order for the bird or birds using the add to cart button (Full Adoption) you will also need to order your shipping for the bird using the add to cart button (Shipping). If you are wishing to adopt more than one bird please contact me first as we may be able to save you money by shipping more than one bird per carrier.
Shipping Fees
$150.00 per bird (sometimes depending on the species we are able to get more than one bird to a carrier this saving you on shipping.
Note: The airlines control how many animals will be allowed on any given flight. Weather conditions (typically temperatures on take-off and anticipated at landing) also control whether an animal will be allowed to board. The airlines give no guarantees whether they will accept an animal until the last minute.
First Class, White Glove Service!
Our babies are shipped in an airline industry-approved carrier that we customize depending on the type of bird, the distance or duration, and the number of birds (if a multiple delivery). We go well over the requirements to ensure there are enough food and treats to last for days - just in case there is a delay. The airlines also have instructions to contact us at certain intervals if there is a delay, and special handling instructions are included with the carrier.
In general, we charge you for the exact shipping charges and incidentals (fuel surcharges, etc.) Should a health certificate be required or desired, we have an avian-certified veterinarian who will perform the check and issue the health certificate. In addition, a full well-bird examination can be arranged, if you would like. These are at a additional charge to you.
Don't Forget to Call !
As excited as you are to have your baby arrive, we are just as anxious to know the arrival was on-time, safe, and without incident. A call from the airport upon pick-up is appreciated.
We also will ship birds by airline. We use Delta Airlines'
Pet First program. You can find out more about the program's specific terms at their websites. Delta provides exemplary care to animals in their charge, and take the extra steps to make sure the birds don't get too stressed or forgotten.
