A few tips for shipping live birds:
DO
• Feed and water birds prior to shipping.
• Place litter or bedding in the bottom of the box to collect moisture, reduce odors, and provide a foothold.
• Call the recipient and give them the tracking number and expected arrival date.
• Write the shipping address on the box in case shipping label comes off.
DON’T
• Ship injured, ill or birds under unusual stress.
• Do not remove the white breathable membrane from over the vent holes. The membrane protects your birds from an airborne disease, reduces excitability, stress, and is required by postal regulations.
• Do not ship birds in very hot or very cold weather conditions. It is hotter in the box and extreme heat can be fatal to your birds. IF IN DOUBT – DON’T SHIP.
• Do not over pack the box. Too many birds in a box can cause overheating and stress which can be harmful or fatal.
• Do not ship birds over the weekend or holiday. They may become stranded.
