Shipping & Delivery

Please contact Higgins Grey Parrots before reserving to confirm the safest current pickup, delivery, or shipping option for your location. Availability, timing, and requirements can vary by bird, destination, weather, and travel schedule, so we confirm details before any handoff is planned.

Confirm delivery before reserving

Every buyer should confirm the exact handoff plan before placing a reservation. This helps avoid confusion and makes sure the bird, timing, and travel details are handled carefully.

  • Confirm the bird is still available.
  • Confirm pickup, delivery, or shipping options for your location.
  • Confirm the total cost, timing, and any required preparation.
  • Ask what documents, feeding notes, or care instructions are included.
  • Make sure you understand the handoff process before travel is scheduled.

Pickup and handoff planning

A calm handoff helps the parrot settle into its new home. Before pickup or delivery, prepare a quiet space, have the cage ready, and review the bird’s current food and routine. Keep the first day simple so the bird can adjust without too much noise or handling.

Shipping questions

If shipping is available for your situation, details should be confirmed in advance. Weather, timing, destination, and the bird’s readiness can affect whether shipping is appropriate. We recommend asking early so expectations are clear before a reservation is made.

Prepare before your parrot arrives

Before the handoff date, review our Bird Care guide and Parrot Feeding tips. You can also browse Available Parrots or contact us to ask about the safest option for your location.
