We will also explain every detail thoroughly to assure you of your pets safety throughout the shipping process.

THE SHIPPING PROCESS?

A Specialist will first look to see where the closest airport is to ship your bird. (We only ship birds on airlines that implement a Pet Safe Program) After choosing an airport, we will begin coordinating all schedules & considerations. We will then book your flight and send you an email itinerary of all of the times, flights, schedules & pick up/Delivery location. Once all of the paperwork is filled out and your bird is checked in at the airport, you will receive an email and/or phone call letting you know how everything is going. During the day of the flight, we will continually be updating you on the progress of the flight schedules until your bird arrives safely in your arms.

*Your bird will arrive in a brand new airline approved cage/crate with absorbent bedding and a food & water dish.

*All parrots are flown in the under portion part of the aircraft which is a safe temperature controlled environment.

*The price will cover all expenses except for an updated health certificate. (This would be paid by the purchaser and/or the breeder).

*Any fees owed because of flight cancellations will be the responsibility of the individual who receives the bird.
