Bird Policies:
To reserve a baby, a non-refundable deposit is required.
The balance of the purchase price is to be paid in full when the bird is picked up. We prefer cash or postal money orders (no personal checks please). We also accept Paypal. Balances paid with methods other than cash/postal money order, are subject to a 3% processing fee.
Monies paid for services rendered (such as dna sexing) are not refundable.
Yes, we do ship! We prefer Continental Airlines as their service is excellent and there are no weather restrictions. Cost is $130 which includes the custom, reusable carrier. CLEARED payment for birds and associated shipping costs must be received no later than 48 hours in advance of the shipping date.
Local customers may arrange to meet us in person to pick up their babies.
All of our weaned birds come with a written health guarantee provided at the time of sale.
Requests for a specific gender must be made at the time the deposit is put down for the bird. DNA gender testing is available for $30 at customer's expense.
We offer free after the sale support on all the weaned birds we sell. If you have questions about a parrot that you did not purchase from us, we do offer behavioral consulting at an hourly rate. Email us for details.
Our aviary/nursery is closed to the public. This policy protects our birds/babies from theft, viruses and diseases. The security, health and well being of our birds is top priority. When a customer places a deposit on one of our babies, we keep in touch by sending weekly updates and great pictures!
All pictures on our website, facebook page, blog, and those we send to our customers are the copyrighted property of Almost Angels Aviary. Use of these pictures without our permission is strictly prohibited.
We request that customers pick up their birds or schedule shipping arrangements within seven days after we notify you that your bird is weaned. If you are unable to pick up your bird during this time (for example you are going on vacation), we can hold your bird a little longer for $10.00 per day. If a customer has not picked up their bird after 7 days and no boarding arrangements have been made with us, we reserve the right to sell the bird to another customer. The customer's non-refundable deposit will be kept by Almost Angels Aviary to offset boarding and advertising costs.
All of our babies wings are moderately trimmed (known as a "baby clip") after fledging. Trimming our babies wings keeps them safe while they are spending lots of quality time out of their cages with us - and with their new owners.
We reserve the right to refuse
or cancel any sale at our discretion.
Owning a bird is a responsibility. BEFORE putting a deposit down on one of our babies, review your lifestyle and finances carefully to be sure you are ready for this commitment. If you need advice, ask us. We have been living and working with birds for over 16 years. Raising a feathered family member for a customer is not an easy task. Depending on the species, a baby requires 2-4+ months of around the clock loving care before it is ready to go home (just like a human baby). During this time we have marked it as "sold" on the website. We have sent weekly pictures and updates, detailed written care information, answered your questions and advised you of what supplies you needed and where to purchase them. It is extremely unfair to us and unfair to the bird to back out of the sale at the last minute after we have spent months raising it for you. Please think carefully before you buy.
Wholesale:
Dealer inquiries welcome. Please contact us for details.
Online Order Information:
All orders are sent directly to the warehouse where they take care of packing/shipping. Most customers receive their orders within a week to 10 days. If you have a question about your order, send us an email and we'll check on it.
Most orders are processed/shipped 24-48 hours after receipt. Orders are shipped Monday through Friday, excluding holidays. We do not do "express" or "rush orders".
Lately, we have had a hard time getting customers to respond when we occasionally have questions regarding an order. We prefer to communicate through email as it is time consuming for us to make repeated phone calls. Please put an email address that you check frequently to avoid delays in processing your order.
All orders are shipped via UPS Ground directly from the warehouse. Items have not been exposed to other birds or animals.
Shipping rates have been steadily rising. For now, we have a "flat rate" shipping cost depending on the amount of your order (see below). Heavy shipments may require additional shipping. We will let you know if there are additional shipping costs before processing your order/payment. Shipping rates below do not apply to shipping birds.
