Shipping Terms
Featheredfriendsaviary has been shipping baby birds throughout the United States for the last 5 years.
We are experienced in the requirements and considerations necessary to make your baby's trip home as
comfortable and stress free as possible We place the welfare and safety of our babies above all other
considerations. We carefully monitor weather conditions at all points of travel and will only ship if we
deem it safe to do so. We use direct flights whenever possible and do extensive research to ascertain the
best possible route. We know the best crates to use for the various species we breed. Crates are
equipped with a built in perch and are reusable for trips to the vet or future traveling. We know how to
provide enough food and moisture during transit and carefully mark the crates with "Live Animal" stickers,
the shipper's and consignee's contact information as well as the destination airport code.
Birds are shipped counter to counter priority air service out of Will Rogers Airport to most major airports
within the US. This service provides that the birds are the last on and first off the plane and are hand
carried. The birds fly in the pressurized, climate controlled cargo section of the plane.
Shipping charges include counter to counter shipping and crate. They are as follows:
Continental $85
Delta $100
Flight times are mutually agreed upon by both FFA and the buyer. The buyer is supplied with the airline,
flight number(s), reference #s and flight arrival time prior to departure. Buyers will receive a confirmation
call or email on the day of shipment. A return call or email to FFA letting us know that the bird(s) arrived
safely is greatly appreciated. .

All together that is a gas fee of $25, a shipping crate fee of $25, and the shipping, making Delta $150.00,

We guarantee safe and healthy arrival on all of our shipments. We WILL NOT SHIP if we feel that
weather conditions are hazardous for the bird.
