Your new parrot will be shipped via “Air Cargo” to the airport closest to you. The Air Cargo features a space specially designated for pets. Therefore, it’s safe and cozy (air conditioned) for your Parrot. For several years, “Epic Mainecoon Cattery” worked with Air Cargo and we haven’t experienced any accidents. All Parrots were delivered promptly. After booking the flight, an agent will contact you via telephone or email to verify the flight. The agent will also inform you with the time and date of the arrival of your Parrot. Our shipping crates are clearly marked with colorful “LIVE ANIMALS” and “UP” stickers. We mark the crates clearly with the destination airport, the confirmation number, the phone & address of the customer. When we know that a Parrot is going to be shipped, we play with them in the crate prior to shipping so they are used to it. They have never shown fear of the crate. We put lots of food & plenty of water in the shipping crate. The water provides all the moisture the Parrot need during delivery. One reason we do this is in case, in the unlikely event the Parrot should get stuck at an airport overnight (because of connecting flight trouble), we don’t have to worry if they have enough to eat or drink. Although travelling is not that hard on them, we do not like to make them spend any more time than absolutely necessary in transit. For this reason, we also look for the shortest route & always schedule direct flights if possible. We check weather conditions at the receiving end and only ship when we consider it safe to do so. We put our Parrots’ health above all other considerations and do not ship when we feel it could be dangerous to the Parrots’ well-being. We usually ship Monday – Sunday. We guarantee a safe & healthy arrival of your Parrot. We WILL NOT SHIP if we feel that weather conditions are hazardous for the Parrot. Your Parrot may take few days to adjust once they get to their new homes, sometimes it takes them a day or two to settle in, but by far, the vast majority of people tell us they just step right out of the shipping crate & act right at home. The final step is to simply pick up your Parrot from the closest assigned airport.
