Deposits/Reservation of a bird(s)

You can schedule a appointment to come see the birds available for sale. If you decided you want one that is still being hand fed (not ready to leave yet) you can secure that bird with a non refundable deposit via cash or Zelle. You will be provided with a receipt. If you want a bird but too far to come in person, we do accept Zelle. A picture of the receipt I fill out with all the bird info and your deposit will be text to you. 

Deposits are not refundable "unless something happens to the bird (injury, health issue, plucking, deformity, etc)."  So please make sure that you want the bird and have the funds to pay it off before placing a deposit. Talk to your spouse, your partner, your family before placing a deposit to insure that the bird will be accepted. 

Most of our baby birds are close banded which means we use a ID band on their leg before they are 2 weeks old. This band will be written on your deposit receipt and will not be sold to anyone (see contract/deposit paper work for additional details) unless you forfeit it by changing your mind, do not pick it up when ready to go, or decide to get a different bird instead. 

We only accept deposits on baby birds that are still being hand fed. There are times we accept deposits to reserve a bird if the person cannot make it down right away to pick up a older bird(s) and wants to secure the purchase of it/them. When your baby you have a deposit on is ready to go, we will contact you a week in advance to let you know that it is about ready to leave. The balance due on the bird will be paid at the time of pick up. 

We unfortunately do not give "courtesy holds" unless the baby is old enough to leave and the person will be down that same day to get it. Too many people window shop and then change their mind which "courtesy holding" will tie up the bird for someone more serious about purchasing it. This is why we also do not keep  a list of people interested. Takes too much time from our busy schedule to contract people on a list to find out they changed their mind, funds not available, found something else etc.  

Yes, you will receive updates weekly or bi weekly unless you request to just be updated when its ready for pick up. We will usually text picture updates as the baby bird is growing. 

We no longer keep a waiting list. We use to. But too many people change their mind, find another bird if they have to wait, don't have the money at the time I contact them etc. It took up too much of my time and was not fruitful. Best thing to do if you are wanting a certain species of bird is to check our website main page or "Up Coming babies" page or sign up for our newsletter where I send out notifications of upcoming birds. 

This can be done if the bird is still available that you want to switch your deposit to. As long as you do it before the bird is ready for pick up and not after picking the bird up. We will just create a new deposit receipt. Please inform us of this change in mind ASAP as we may have turned someone down that would have like to have purchased the bird you originally reserved. 

I will use an example to explain how it works. Say I have 5 Green Cheek Conure babies available. 2 are Turquoise Yellowsided and 3 are Turquoise Pineapple that are being hand fed at 3 weeks of age. If you cannot make it down here in person to place the deposit as the 1st person to reserve one of the 5 babies, you can decide on what color you would like or pick one from pictures. You pick a Turquoise Yellowsided baby but not a particular one from pictures, you just want a Turquoise Yellowsided. The 2nd person who placed a deposit comes down in person and wants a Turquoise Yellowsided too. But they select one of the two available because the 1st person didnt actually pick a particular one out. The 3rd person to place a deposit now can only pick from the 3 remaining birds which are the turquoise pineapples. If that 3rd person just wants one of the 3 but not picky, the 4th person who wants a particular one gets to pick from the 3 left. If they are not picky on which one, the 5th person gets to choose 1 out of the 3 remaining.
