Delivery Option
At Roberto Aviary, we understand that bringing home an African Grey parrot is an exciting and emotional experience, and we want every step of that journey to be smooth, safe, and filled with confidence. That’s why we’ve designed our delivery options with one thing in mind — the safety, comfort, and well-being of your new feathered companion. Every parrot we send out is a living, breathing heart we’ve nurtured with love, and we take great pride in making sure they arrive healthy, calm, and ready to bond with their new family. We know that every family’s circumstances are different, so we offer flexible, secure, and caring delivery options to meet your needs no matter where you are.
We treat every delivery as a personal responsibility, not just a logistical task. Each African Grey that leaves Roberto Aviary has already received full veterinary health clearance, complete documentation, and a final wellness check to ensure they’re ready for travel. Our birds are hand-raised and accustomed to human handling, which helps them stay calm and curious during the journey. We take the time to prepare them emotionally, ensuring that their transition from our home to yours is gentle and stress-free.
For families who live close to us, we always encourage personal pickup whenever possible. There’s something truly special about meeting your new African Grey in person, feeling its soft feathers, and hearing its first curious chirps as you hold it for the first time. During pickups, we take time to introduce you properly to your bird, go over feeding routines, share bonding tips, and answer any questions you might have. This one-on-one connection gives you a chance to see where your bird was raised, meet the people who nurtured it, and leave with a deeper sense of trust and reassurance. For many of our new families, that first meeting at our aviary is a heartwarming moment they never forget — the true beginning of a lifelong friendship.
For those who live too far to visit, we offer safe and professional air shipping to major airports within the United States and select international locations where animal transport standards are high. We have years of experience in avian transport and work only with airlines and carriers that specialize in the humane, climate-controlled shipment of live animals. These are not standard cargo shipments — our birds travel in carefully monitored environments designed to keep them comfortable, hydrated, and stress-free. Every crate is custom-prepared for the individual bird, with soft bedding, secure perches, food, fruit, and water gels to keep them nourished and calm during travel.
Before shipping, we make sure the bird is in perfect health and fully ready for the journey. Our licensed avian veterinarian performs a final checkup and issues a Health Certificate, which travels with your bird. This certificate verifies that your African Grey has been examined, vaccinated if necessary, and cleared for travel according to local and international regulations. We also provide a small travel kit, including a familiar toy or soft cloth from our aviary, to give your parrot a sense of comfort and familiarity during transit. We understand that travel can be unsettling, so we do everything possible to make it gentle and reassuring.
We coordinate the entire process with precision and constant communication. Once the flight details are confirmed, we provide you with a complete itinerary that includes the airline, flight number, and estimated arrival time. We stay in touch with you throughout the journey, from the moment your parrot departs our care until the moment it safely lands in your arms. We also remain available by phone or message at any time during transit in case you have questions or concerns. Once your bird arrives, we ask you to call us immediately so we know they’ve made it home safely. Hearing your voice filled with joy and excitement when you open that crate is one of the best parts of our work.
For customers who prefer not to ship by air, we also offer ground delivery options through trusted, professional pet transporters who specialize in avian travel. These drivers are experienced in long-distance bird transport and take care of our parrots as if they were their own. The vehicles are temperature-controlled and secure, and each stop is carefully planned to ensure your parrot remains comfortable, hydrated, and stress-free throughout the trip. Ground delivery is an excellent option for shorter distances or for families who want their new bird hand-delivered directly to their home.
Every delivery option comes with personalized care instructions and a starter guide tailored to your specific parrot. We also include a small bag of their current food mix to help ease the transition to their new environment. It’s important to us that every family feels fully prepared and supported from the very first day. Our relationship doesn’t end once your bird is delivered — in fact, that’s just the beginning. We follow up with each family within 24 hours of arrival to ensure that the transition has gone smoothly and that your African Grey is adjusting well.
We understand that waiting for your new companion to arrive can feel emotional — a mixture of excitement and nervous anticipation. That’s why we maintain full transparency throughout the process. We’ll send you updates, photos, and details as we prepare your bird for travel. We want you to feel connected and confident, knowing that your feathered friend is in loving, experienced hands every step of the way.
At Roberto Aviary, we treat every delivery as if we were sending one of our own family members — because in a way, we are. Every African Grey we raise carries a little piece of our love and devotion. We don’t rush the process, and we never compromise safety for speed. If weather conditions are poor or flights are delayed, we wait for the perfect moment. The comfort and health of your parrot always come first. We also ensure that all shipping complies with USDA, IATA, and airline standards for the humane transport of live animals.
For international clients, we carefully handle all the necessary export documentation, health certifications, and quarantine requirements (if applicable). We work closely with veterinary authorities and airline partners to ensure a smooth process from start to finish. Our goal is to make international delivery as seamless as possible while maintaining the same level of care, communication, and love that we give to our local families. We provide detailed instructions on how to receive your parrot, what to expect during the first hours at home, and how to help them settle in comfortably.
We’ve delivered African Grey parrots to families all over the country and abroad, and every story is special. We’ve seen tears of joy, laughter, and the magical first moments when a bird steps out of its crate, looks around, and begins to trust. That instant connection between a parrot and its new family is what inspires everything we do. Knowing that our birds bring love, companionship, and happiness into people’s lives is the most rewarding part of our work.
When you choose Roberto Aviary, you’re not just choosing a breeder — you’re choosing a partner who will walk with you through every step of your parrot’s journey. From our home to yours, we handle every detail with care, empathy, and professionalism. Our delivery process is built on compassion, transparency, and experience. We want your African Grey’s arrival to be a moment filled with peace, excitement, and love — the beginning of a lifelong bond that grows stronger every day.
We encourage you to reach out to us before finalizing your delivery preference so we can discuss what works best for you and your bird. Every family’s situation is unique, and we’re happy to customize the process to make it as comfortable and safe as possible. Whether you come to us in person, meet your bird at the airport, or welcome them at your doorstep, we guarantee one thing — your African Grey will arrive healthy, happy, and loved.
At the heart of it all, our delivery options reflect the same values that guide our entire aviary: love, trust, and responsibility. Every journey is carefully planned, every detail thoughtfully handled, and every bird treated with the respect and tenderness it deserves. When your African Grey finally reaches your arms and looks at you with those bright, knowing eyes, you’ll understand that what we send is not just a bird — it’s a living connection built on compassion and care. That moment of meeting is what we live for, and we’re honored to be part of it every single time.
