Shipping Our Birds Safely
There is nothing more important to Parrot Stars than the health, safety, and comfort of our parrots — including when they’re traveling. We’re proud to offer safe, professional shipping within the continental United States through major airlines.
Our shipping fee is $500, and each shipment is carefully planned and executed by our experienced team.
Here's what's included:
1. Airline Flight Booking
We book flights through major carriers such as Delta and American Airlines.
Delta flights average $180 and are included in our standard $500 shipping rate.
If Delta service is not available to your preferred airport, we may need to book through American Airlines, which averages $320. In that case, an additional $140 fee will apply to cover the airline’s higher rate (for a total of $640).
Both Delta and American Airlines are trusted carriers for live animal transport. We prefer Delta when available due to its extensive live animal handling network, but American is equally safe and often services smaller or more remote airports.
2. Premium Travel Carrier & Preparation — $150
Each bird travels in a brand-new, customized airline-approved carrier that includes:
Proper screening, bedding, perch, and food bowls
Extra food taped to the carrier
Staff preparation time to ensure the setup is safe, comfortable, and compliant
3. Flight Coordination & Paperwork — $50
Our team spends several hours booking the flight, preparing all required documentation, and coordinating detailed instructions with you for pickup.
