Bird Shipping Guide for Parrot Buyers

Bird shipping requires planning, clear communication, and a calm arrival routine. Before reserving a parrot, buyers should understand pickup or delivery options, travel carrier needs, weather considerations, and what to do when the bird arrives.

Questions to Confirm Before Shipping

• Is the bird currently available for pickup or delivery?
• What carrier or travel setup is recommended?
• What documents, health details, or buyer information are needed?
• What day and time will the bird arrive?
• Who should the buyer contact during the delivery window?

Prepare the Home Before Arrival

Set up the cage, perches, food bowls, water bowls, safe toys, and a quiet settling area before the bird arrives. Avoid loud introductions during the first day. Let the parrot observe the new room and adjust gradually.

Arrival-Day Care

Offer familiar food if possible, fresh water, and a calm environment. Watch eating, drinking, droppings, and behavior. Contact support or an avian veterinarian if anything looks concerning.
