Unweaned Babies Policy
The health, safety and well being of our baby birds is our greatest concern.

feeders. References may be requested prior to the sale of unweaned babies.
Deposits & Payments
A 25% non-refundable deposit is required to reserve a baby to be handfed and weaned. All other purchases require a minimum $50.00 deposit with the balance due prior to shipping. At this time we accept cash, USPS money orders, cashiers checks, bank wire transfers and Paypal. There is a 3% handling fee for processing purchases made through Paypal.

All shipping costs are the buyers responsibility including health certificates if required and a $20 to $40 shipping crate charge. We ship Delta out of Rochester New York. Currently, shipping fees range from $101 to $159 depending on shipping weight and which airline has to be used. Multiple birds can be shipped for one price by strapping shipping crates together or using custom built compartmentalized containers. Finger Lakes Exotic Birds pledges to ship your bird(s) within 1 to 3 days after full payment has cleared. This may vary depending on the time of year and weather conditions.
