Shipping Process:
- Birds are shipped in specialized crates featuring outfitted cages that provide stability during transit, ensuring the bird doesn’t slide around.
- These crates include ventilation, spill-resistant food and water cups, and a mesh covering that allows light and oxygen in while maintaining privacy.
- Labels indicating “Fragile” and “Live Animals” are applied for added safety.
Delivery Options:
- Direct Delivery: The bird is delivered to the client’s door, with a required signature upon delivery.
- Post Office Pickup: Clients can opt to pick up the bird from their local USPS/Post Office by providing the tracking number and ID, ensuring the bird remains in a controlled environment.
Shipping Logistics: The estimated delivery time depends on several steps:
- Wendy’s Parrots Local USPS Office
- Wendy’s Parrots Local USPS Distribution Center
- Client’s Local USPS Distribution Center
- Client’s Local USPS Office
- Final Delivery to the Client’s Door
Insurance & Monitoring:
- We take photos and videos of the bird before and during the shipping process and share them with the client for insurance purposes.

USPS Express Live Bird Shipping CO (Colorado Shipping Only):
- Shipping Rate: $50.
- Description: This shipping method is exclusively for Colorado residents. The reduced rate is due to the use of road transportation instead of air travel. The service operates similarly to the regular weekday shipping option but is restricted to Colorado zip codes.
Sunday & Holiday USPS Express Live Bird Shipping:
- Shipping Rate: $95.
- Description: This option allows bird orders to be delivered on weekends and holidays. The higher shipping cost reflects USPS’s limited operational hours and staffing on these days. Only certain zip codes qualify for this shipping method. If a non-qualifying zip code is used, the customer will be refunded the excess amount, and the shipping method will revert to the standard weekday option.
These options provide flexibility and ensure that customers understand the terms and conditions based on their location and delivery preferences.
