Hello, everyone! I am new here and just wanted to introduce myself. I have two parakeets; Molongo, and Minindi. I had a cockatiel shipped to me a little over a month ago and he sadly passed away as the breeder didn't take many precautions to keep him safe on the flight ( I miss him a lot. Anyways, I just wanted to pop in and say hi to everyone.

welcome, sorry about your loss I've never had a bird shipped to me I don't even .....I don't really think that's even a thing...maybe I just don't know unless they literally hired a courier.

To be honest I'm piqued how was he planning on shipping a bird to you and......yeah how.....

In the uk there are couriers who specialise in this. I wouldnt put a bird through the stress though, personally.

Welcome by the way, sorry for your loss

Welcome to the forums, sorry for your loss of a cockatiel.

While many successfully ship by air as freight, it is not something I'd feel comfortable doing. The safest way to ship by airline is as a pet in cabin with a human.

maybe I'm just me but...I just have to know what was the plan......was the bird in a box or what? this sounds like the worst breeder ever.....

You’re welcome here! Many ship safely but like everything else nothing is foolproof. Hope all is well with you and the budgies. We love budgies!
