Shipping Information
At Sunlit Parrots Aviary, we go above and beyond to ensure that every parrot in our aviary finds a loving home, no matter how far away that home might be. With a strong commitment to animal welfare, we carefully coordinate with trusted pet transport agencies to deliver healthy, happy parrots to families in distant locations. Shipping live birds involves meticulous attention, and our process is designed to provide you with peace of mind throughout your parrot’s journey.
Sunlit Parrots Aviary offers nationwide and regional shipping through select pet transport partners who are highly experienced in the care and handling of exotic birds. These agencies use climate-controlled vehicles and airline services that specialize in live animal transportation, so your parrot receives expert attention at every stage. Our shipping solutions cover a wide range of destinations. If you are unsure about your area, our team will advise you on availability and any import requirements, always keeping you informed and compliant with state and federal laws.
Prior to departure, each parrot receives a complete health evaluation by an avian veterinarian to certify its fitness for travel. We prepare all necessary documents including health certificates, vaccination records, and shipment permits required by transportation authorities. Every bird is gently introduced to a secure, airline-approved travel carrier equipped with soft perches, food and hydration sources, and proper ventilation. Our carriers are selected for comfort and stability, helping to reduce travel stress so your parrot arrives calm and safe.
The shipping timeline and logistics are arranged with your convenience and your parrot’s comfort in mind. We schedule shipments to avoid extreme weather or transit delays and work closely with our transport agencies to minimize time spent in transit. Once your parrot is en route, you will receive updates and detailed pickup or delivery instructions. Whether your parrot arrives at your local airport or front door, we make sure you are fully prepared for a smooth reception.
Shipping fees are determined by your location, the specific species or size of your parrot, and your chosen method of transport. Before your order is finalized, all fees and details will be outlined clearly so you know exactly what to expect. These costs include veterinary checks, travel carrier, required documentation, and transportation itself, ensuring transparency from the start.
Supporting your parrot’s transition to its new environment is just as important to us as a safe journey. Upon arrival, you will receive a welcome package with care instructions and settling-in tips tailored to your bird’s needs. Our relationship does not end with delivery. The Sunlit Parrots Aviary team is always available to answer questions and provide guidance as your new companion adjusts to their forever home.
We never compromise when it comes to the safety and well-being of our birds. Shipments will be postponed if weather or travel conditions are unsafe, because our top priority is always your parrot’s health. All partners in our network are chosen for their commitment to quality care and ethical transport standards.
Contact us any time with questions about shipping, transport eligibility for your region, or to discuss your parrot’s travel arrangements in detail. At Sunlit Parrots Aviary, your peace of mind and your parrot’s journey from our aviary to your home are in the hands of professionals who truly care.
