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.

Flight times are mutually agreed upon by both A&M Aviaries and the buyer. The buyer is supplied with the airline, flight number(s), air bill number 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 A&M Aviaries letting us know that the bird(s) arrived safely is greatly appreciated.

Health certificates can be obtained for an additional cost of $50 for those states requiring them.
