SHIPPING

We take care of all the flight/shipping arrangements for all our customers. All you have to do is pick up your bird at your nearest airport on the same day within 3 to 5 hrs. Simple and Safe! We only ship via Delta airlines. (Shipping details & FAQ below)

We will coordinate flight times with our customers in advance before the bird is shipped (weather permitting). The customer is supplied with the airline, flight number(s), air waybill/tracking number, and flight arrival time prior to departure. It is recommended that the customer arrives at the airport no later than the expected flight arrival time, so your bird is not waiting for too long at the airport. Unless it was specified to be home delivery, where in this case we are not responsible for the extra cost required. So, the customer is responsible to get this fee paid in due time.

We will contact our customer once again on the day of shipment before the bird’s departure from our aviary. A return call, text, or e-mail to Sunshine parrots for adoption letting us know that the bird(s) arrived safely is greatly appreciated.

Shipping is an additional $135.07 nationwide & up (U.S only) + airline-approved shipping crate ($100 – $350)
Any bird that leaves our aviary must be paid in full before the bird is shipped.

We offer to ship within the U.S only. We do NOT offer international shipping.

locals must come and pick up!

SHIPPING FAQS

How does shipping work?
We take care of the flight/shipping arrangements for all our customers. All a customer has to do is to pick up their baby at their nearest airport with a Valid I.D. Simple and Safe!

We’ll coordinate flight times with our customer a few days before the bird is shipped (weather permitting). We’ll drop off the bird at our airport and the customer will pick up the bird at their nearest major airport. Customers are supplied with the airline, flight number(s), air waybill number, and flight arrival time prior to departure. A direct flight will arrive within 3-6 hours depending on your state.

Manila folder with an Avian vet health certificate, disease testing lab report, bird care (Tips and Advice), favorites fruits/veggies list, and hatch certificate is attached to every shipping carrier.

How much does the shipping cost?

Do we guarantee our shipping and what’s the return policy?
Yes, all our birds are guaranteed to arrive at your airport safely. All sales are final when the birds are shipped. There are no returning birds. We have a 24-hour limit of notification, after delivery of the birds, of any death at the delivery point specified on the order. Immediate inspection is necessary to ensure damage didn’t occur during shipping and the birds are alive at delivery. We will replace the dead bird or refund the cost of the bird one time, but not the shipping cost (Don’t worry, this has never happened to us).
Do birds come with a health guarantee?
Yes, all our weaned birds come with a full health guarantee. We provide our customers with 7 days health guarantee to take the bird(s) to an avian veterinarian. If an avian veterinarian states that the bird was Unfit for sale (not healthy), a certificate/paperwork must be presented to Sunshine parrots within 24 hours of the exam for exchange or full refund of the bird(s). Please click on our “Health Guarantee” tab to read more detailed information.

All our birds (weaned or un-weaned) are DISEASE TESTED negative for Polyomavirus (PVD), Avian Bornavirus (ABV), Psittacine Beak and Feather Disease (PBFD), and Chlamydia psittaci. We provide paperwork with every bird we sell.

Bringing your new bird home…. (Settling in)
When you get home, put your bird in the cage and let him/her be. He/She needs time to adjust to his/her surroundings. No matter how cute he/she is, how much you want to show him/her off, or how much the kids want to have him/her perch on their fingers, let your bird be.
Give him/her a day of peace to adjust. Offer him/her water, fruits/veggies along with pellets/seed mix as soon you get home.
