Shipping Birds

Shipping Prep

  1. Contact me to schedule/notify me of intended shipping, I do not want birds to be sitting outside if I will knowingly be away or on vacation.

  2. Place the highest R-Value Insulation on all sides of a sturdy cardboard box.

  3. Place an ice pack (ice blanket from amazon are cheap and perfect) below your bird if its during late fall/winter and an additional ice pack above if it is spring/summer.

  4. Bird must be FROZEN when dropping at UPS and double ziplock bagged.

  5. Place a piece of paper with all Contact (Name, Phone, Email) and Federal Migratory Tag information (as shown to left) in a separate ziplock bag within the box. Include any pictures of desired poses or habitats as well (these can be emailed or texted prior).

Shipping costs will be added to your balance which is due prior to the mount being shipped.
