  • How to book this service?

    A non-refundable booking fee of $20 is required for booking this service. The booking fee is subtracted from the total cost. However, cancellations and/or no shows forfeit the deposit.

    Birds are dropped off with appointment on Fridays, after 5 pm. They will be safely kept in one of our quarantine coops with fresh water . They will be processed on Saturday morning. We will send you a text message once your birds are packaged and ready to go.
