Shipping birds by Post Office:
I can ship a bird with the post office and it can take one to two days before they will get to you. Some birds can not be shipped with the post office and has to be shipped with Delta. Let me know what bird you want and I can tell you the way they can be shipped. The post office has a postal approved box that the birds need to be shipped in. I have these boxes on hand and you can buy them from me. The prices for these boxes can run around $18 to $23 depending on the size of the box. In this box I will put food and water to help the birds out for their trip. I will need your name, address and a phone # to put on the shipping box. The post office will call you when they arrive. You will need to go to the post office to sign for the birds. Most of the time the birds are loose in the box, so please be careful when you open the box up. To get you set up for shipping I will need your zip code first to look up the shipping cost.
Shipping with Delta:
Any bird can be shipped with Delta. It's a faster way for them to get to you. Most of the time you will get the birds the same day as I send them out. You will need to let me know the name of the airport that is closest to you that Delta will go to. After that I will call my airport to set up a time to ship the birds out. Sometimes I can send them out in a day or sometimes in a week. It all depends on how booked they are. Shipping with Delta you will get a nice carrier cage. This you can use over for you birds or for another pet you own. The price normally runs about $125, this price includes the shipping and the carrier cage, the birds are not included in this price. You can also put insurance on this during shipping if you would like.
If you would like a health certificate before shipping.
I will be more than happy to have the bird veterinarian checked and receive a health certificate if you like. This is a extra fee to have this done. A copy of this health certificate will be sent to your state and I will send you a copy of it in the shipping box. The certificate is stating that the bird is healthy at the time of the check up. I can not guarantee the bird after this. The reason that I can not guarantee the birds is because I have had customers not feed and water the bird and think I should take care of a ill bird from this. I will never send a sick bird. I've been doing this too long to mess up by doing that. Besides I keep up with all my birds health and do not have any ill birds. If you ever have any questions about your bird please let me know I will be more than happy to to help you out.
Paying for your shipping:
Before I can ship any birds you will need to pay for the birds and shipping.
I will accept a money order or you can pay with paypal at Sissysbirds@Aol.com. Paypal has a small charge for using there service. I can also send you a invoice from paypal. If you decide to send a money order please get in touch with me first so I can let you know what name to put on the money order. I can not accept any money orders made out to my business.
Delivery:
I will not delivery to your home. But I'm willing to help out the ones that live too far to travel to my place. I will only delivery a certain distance and there will be a delivery fee. About once a month I go near the Chesterfield town center. If you want to meet in the area that I pick I will be more than happy too as long as it falls on the day that I will be going out. There will be delivery fee of $25 to go to this area.
Guarantee:
I will guarantee that I will only ship you healthy birds. If you ever have a question about your birds you are more than welcome to give me a call or e-mail me. Once the birds have left my property I can not guarantee them, at that time it's out of my hands. It's up to the post office or Delta to get them to you safely. If there is any problems with the shipping you will need to talk with the post office or delta to handle the problem. Out of all of the many years that I've been shipping birds the only problem that has ever came up was they arrived a little late. This has only happened maybe about 5 times. I ship birds out at least 4 times a month.
Buying a bird from me:
Once you have bought a bird from me I will offer you nail and wing clippings for the life of your bird for only a $5 donation. I will also be more than happy to look the bird over. I can check for bird lice or mites. I will also let you know how your bird looks to me, health. I am not a vet so if you have any problems with your bird take the bird to someone that can really help you. I would rather no sick birds be brought on my property just because I can not afford for my birds to catch it.
Knowing the sex of your bird:
Some birds are easy to tell but others need time or DNA. I will DNA your bird for $40. Doing this I will need to take blood. Then I will send it off. I will get the answer back in about a week or sooner. They will send a certificate to let you know the answer of your DNA. This can take longer than a week to receive. DNA's are about 99.9% accurate.
New ***** Gift Certificates are available.

They can be used on anything that I sell, from birds to cages or supplies. They are not refundable and you have to spend the amount of the certificate no money will be given back. This makes a perfect gift for someone special in your life.
What the money goes to:
I have always loved birds and this has been my hobby since I was a child. It takes a lot of work and money for me to give the birds the care they need. I like for my birds to have a good mixture of seeds so I will mix different seeds together. I will also give them treats with fruits and vegetables in it. They get my mixture of grit, crushed oyster shells, and bird charcoal. Fresh water for them to drink and a separate water dish to swim in. Birds can be so funny to watch when they get in the water. Doing all of this is very pricey for the care of over 400 birds. All the birds and supplies that I sell go back to the birds to give them the care they need. I want to thank each and every one of you for your donations and sells. This really helps me to be able to continue with raising these birds and offering you the best prices available.
