NOT ALL BIRDS

QUALIFY AS PETS!!!!
 

In an ever changing shipping environment, we always strive to stay up to date with ongoing changes that take place in the commerical live animal shipping world.

If your pet bird is listed above, it does NOT qualify for travel as a pet bird.

(Please take the time to read this important information below) 

We offer private quarantine sessions (non-race related) overseen by our USDA, beginning (Oct 15th through January 31st), when we are not servicing or performing quarantines for international races around the globe.

We require a minimum of +20 birds in a quarantine session. The individual in the importing importing country must apply for, and obtain the necessary import permit for us, before we can do any work associated with private quarantine services, for birds originating from the USA.

We recommend that you have the necessary import permit approved, if your birds final destination is located outside of the EU.

Please also allow for flexibility on the export dates as things always change daily with exporting and flights with the various carriers we work with.

The pricing is dependent on a host of factors, which involve vet bills, Use Taxes we must pay, daily quarantine fees of $5.75 per bird per day, feed and supplements, vaccination costs, exam fees, mandatory necropsy and testing fees which can range anywhere between $120-$150 PER BIRD  (when necessary), ground transportation fees to DENV airport, or DFW Airport, or LAX, airline fees and freight brokerage logistics fees, shipping crates, administrative fees, quarantine fees based on 21 to 30 days, inspection fees, blood testing fees/and or PCR testing for both AI and Newcastle at the approved state lab we use ($35 per test per bird -$70 total per bird, for both tests is required) vet visits by our board certified Avian Vet, International Health Certificate Fees, and final USDA signoff approvals and endorsements.

Please Note: Flexibility is necessary with exporting live animals. If birds are delayed due to import permit circumstances, testing results delays, and we are required to keep the birds at our facility longer than the typical 30 days as a result of this, additional fees of $5.75 per bird per day as modeled after the USDA rates, will be added on for those delays. Any other avian species will have slightly different pricing, taking into account the size of the birds, breed, the quarantine environment required for special accommodations, feed, testing requirements, etc.

ALL RESERVATION, QUARANTINE, AND SERVICE FEES ASSOCIATED WITH THE EXPORTING PROCESS, MUST BE PAID 100% IN ADVANCE AND UPFRONT, PRIOR TO BIRDS ARRIVING TO OUR QUARANTINE FACILITY.

*****Special Terms and Conditions associated with Exporting/Importing & Private Quarantine Services*****

While we strive to care for your birds to the best of our ability, we are dealing with live animals, and as such, accidents and incidents with live birds can and do happen. The process of performing quarantine services as well as exporting services is highly regulated by various governmental agencies around the world.

It is acknowledged and accepted that you agree to these terms and conditions below anytime you hire us to perform quarantine and export services for your birds. You also agree to not hold us liable for any occurrences or losses that may happen while your birds are with us.

Avian Export Services and Its owner shall not be held responsible for any losses of birds due to illness, death of a bird while in quarantine, flyaways, and or birds that may accidentally escape while with us, injury of a bird of any kind, euthanasia of birds when deemed necessary by the governmental agency, delays on shipments with the airlines, or while en route during times of transportation while heading to their final destination. 

The exportation and or importation of your birds, is strictly contingent upon your full acceptance and binding agreement  to the terms and conditions set forth with our business.

*****ALL FEES AND SERVICES ASSOCIATED WITH QUARANTINE FOR BOTH EXPORTING AND IMPORTING ARE NON-REFUNDABLE!*****

Credits are pro-rated on a case by case basis.

PLEASE NOTE: If for any reason the birds cannot be shipped or exported to their final destination as originally planned, the shipping fees and expenses associated with returning birds to their original owners are to be paid by the original owners of the birds, not Avian Export Services. Avian Export Services will offer a free future export when the need arises.

We now have an established partnership with the newly approved Kaladokwe Quarantine Center located in South Africa!!

We will collect birds for a private quarantine and export to South Africa the end of November 2024.

If you have birds that need to go to South Africa, this is the shipment that will get your birds safely there.

Costs are based on the total qty of birds in the group:

less than 20 birds = $475 Per bird

21-59 birds = $350-$375 Per bird

60-100 birds = $275 Per bird

101-150 birds = $250 Per bird

151-300 birds = $225 Per bird

The import side of the process in South Africa will charge an additional $70-80 USD Per bird for their portion of the process.

This facility will be used by us to send birds directly to South Africa, and we will also use this facility to import birds directly from South Africa. If you have birds located in South Africa that you need to get shipped to the USA, we will import them using this established pre export quarantine facility in South Africa. If you have birds currently in the USA that need to go to South Africa, we will quarantine and ship them to South Africa, and they will go through this fully approved import quarantine facility, before final delivery.
