DEBF has been shipping baby birds throughout the United States for the last 12 years. We are experienced in the requirements and considerations necessary to make your baby's trip home as comfortable and stress free as possible
We place the welfare and safety of our babies above all other considerations. We carefully monitor weather conditions at all points of travel and will only ship if we deem it safe to do so. We use direct flights whenever possible and do extensive research to ascertain the best possible route.
We know the best crates to use for the various species we breed. Crates are equipped with a built in perch and are reusable for trips to the vet or future traveling. We know how to provide enough food and moisture during transit and carefully mark the crates with "Live Animal" stickers, the shipper's and consignee's contact information as well as the destination airport code.
Birds are shipped counter to counter priority air service out of Orlando or Tampa International Airport to most major airports within the US. This service provides that the birds are the last on and first off the plane and are hand carried. The birds fly in the pressurized, climate controlled cargo section of the plane.
Shipping charges include counter to counter shipping and crate. They are as follows:
| Continental | $98 |
| Delta | $95-120 |
Flight times are mutually agreed upon by both DEBF and the buyer. The buyer is supplied with the airline, flight number(s), air bill number and flight arrival time prior to departure. Buyers will receive a confirmation call or email on the day of shipment. A return call or email to DEBF letting us know that the bird(s) arrived safely is greatly appreciated.
Health certificates can be obtained for an additional cost of $25 for those states requiring them.
Reusable shipping container is charged of $25 to $45 depend on the size. The crate can be provided for free if the customer intend to ship it back to us.
We guarantee safe and healthy arrival on all of our shipments. We WILL NOT SHIP if we feel that weather conditions are hazardous for the bird.

DNA sexing is also available at an additional cost of $25. We do DNA sexing only upon the request, we don't like to put our babies under any stress.
-
LIVE DELIVERY IS GUARANTEED. Any claim must be substantiated by the carrier's exception report sent the same day the shipment is received and the bird's closed leg band must accompany this report.
-
All of our birds come with a complete written Health Guarantee. We guarantee that there are no symptoms of disease or parasites at the time of sales/shipping and that our birds are completely healthy. This means that our birds are free of viral infections, pathogenic bacterial infections, fungal infections and congenital defects. We do not consider a slight growth of gram negative bacteria post-shipping to be disease but recognize that this is a stress-related reaction to being shipped.
Buyer is encouraged to have the bird(s) examined by a licensed avian veterian of his/her choice within 3 days from the time of delivery to verify the health of the bird(s). If, during this period, the bird(s) are found to have a condition which seriously affects their health or well-being as determined by the examining veterinarian, Dunnellon's Exotic Bird Farm agrees, at it's discretion and once the bird(s) have been returned, to either refund to buyer the full purchase price or replace said bird(s) with bird(s) of the same speices, sex (if known) and approximate age. This guarantee is void if leg band(s) have been removed.
In the event fails to have the bird(s) examined by a veterinarian within stated 3 day period after delivery, then buyer understands and agrees that the sale is one of "as is" condition.
The above guarantee applies to birds which are on 3 feedings only. Hand feeding babies will only be sold to those experienced in the care and rearing of baby birds and are sold "as is".
Please contact us by phone or email to reserve your baby and confirm avialability. We accept certified checks and money orders made payable to Dunnellon's Exotic Bird Farm as well as, wire transfers and credit card payments made through Paypal.
Purchase made within the state of Florida will be charged actual sales tax.
