Shipping Birds |
|
Shipping is currently available via Delta only. The total cost to ship is $200, which includes the cost of the flight, the cost of a single crate plus the alterations required to make it bird friendly for travel, and a modest gas fee for my travel to and from the airport (either Jacksonville, Orlando, or Tampa depending on flight availability - each one of these airports are at minimum a 2 hour one way drive for me). Generally speaking, when shipping young birds, they can easily be shipped in a single crate and the cost does not change. Each AWB allows up to three crates, so if multiple crates are required, an additional $25 will be added per additional crate.
If shipping via Delta, the birds, flight and box are all paid for in advance. The flight is booked by me through Delta and the buyer picks the birds up from their destination airport based on arrival time. I also sign the buyer up for notifications through the Delta website, which emails updates based on connections, arrival and pick-up time.

Is shipping birds safe?
Yes! In my 13+ years of breeding, I have shipped and received birds through the airlines (first using United and now exclusively via Delta) more times than I can count and I have never once experienced any problem whatsoever. It's incredibly safe and reliable.
There is no minimum purchase requirement at this time to have a bird shipped. I understand the importance of receiving quality birds - so all birds are thoroughly photographed and weighed for selection purposes. I regularly send picture and video updates to all of my baby's parents so they have an opportunity to be a part of their baby's growth and development prior to their baby coming home. Because my babies are closed banded, you can also guarantee the bird you receive is the bird you've selected.

Please note: I do not ship unweaned babies, and I will not ship USPS.
It is against federal regulations to ship hookbills USPS, so please do not ask.
