We are a closed aviary, which means closed to the public.The reason we and other reputable breeders are closed is for
health and safety of our birds.Not mant breeders or pet shops disease test their birds. We are one of the very few who routinely test our adult pairs and babies that hatch.When you welcome one of our baby birds into your family the baby is accompanied by a health certificate from the lab that guarantees your baby is free of diseases.
We receive numerous calls and messages if people can come and view our birds. If we allow many people to visit and touch our birds we could be introducing diseases into our aviary.Some diseases are transmitted through feather dust and can also be tracked in on shoes.
As much as we would love to trust everyone’s intentions, for the health and safety of our birds we only allow a limited number of visitors during our visiting day and Visiting and purchasing is strictly by appointment. Before booking an appointment to visit us below are what to expect.
WHAT TO EXPECT DURING VISITING AND PURCHASING
At Fancy Birds Aviary our goal is to help our companion parrots and their future humans to be as successful as possible. Here is what to expect when purchasing a parrot, or FID (feathered kid) from fancy birds.
-We are happy to spend ample time with you prior to your decision to add a parrot to your family. We answer your questions, share our experience, and help guide you in your decision. Our hope is that prior to purchase, you feel confident in the species you are choosing, and the personality of the specific parrot you are choosing. You are welcome to come into the aviary and interact hands-on with the parrot you are interested in. We are here to educate, not to pressure you into purchase. If you need to go home to further consider the purchase, come back for a second visit or call with questions, you absolutely can! In fact, we want your purchase to be thought through and we want you to enjoy the experience start to finish!
-We require proof of caging, perches and toys for your new feathered companion. You are welcome to purchase your cage from Fancy Birds Aviary (you receive 15% off your cage with a purchase of a parrot)! You can also provide a picture or a video of your cage if you already have it at home. It is our responsibility to confirm that our parrots will be housed in enclosures that are the correct size and have adequate perches and toys. We also offer a 10% discount on all parrot supplies at the time you purchase your bird!
-Our parrots have to leave our building in a carrier. We do not provide or put our animals in cardboard boxes for transport. Carriers are essential to ensure the safety of your parrot in the car. Carriers should be kept handy in your home in case of emergency or the need to evacuate the bird from your home quickly. You are welcome to purchase a carrier at the time of pick up (at a discount)! If you already have a travel carrier, you can bring it with you. We simply ask that if you bring a carrier with you, it is completely clean and disinfected prior to pick-up.
