Health Guarantee
Birds sold by Feathers & Birds Aviary are healthy to the best of our knowledge. The bird being purchased has come from a closed aviary.
As only an AVIAN VETERINARIAN can detect health conditions properly, we encourage you to have the bird examined by a CERTIFIED AVIAN VETERINARIAN of your choice within three days (72 hours) from purchase at your expense (sometimes the vets book ahead far in advance, so we recommend scheduling your appointment before committing to a date to pick up your bird if you plan on exercising this warranty).
Any laboratory tests the vet may want to perform, must be performed within the (72 hour) period for the bird(s) to be covered under this guarantee. We understand that the results of these tests may not be available until after the (72 hour) period. But as long as the tests have been performed within the (72 hour) window, the guarantee will be honored.
If the AVIAN VETERINARIAN determines the bird to have a major health problem, please return the bird(s), along with the veterinarian’s statement to Feathers & Birds Aviary. If problems are found and the bird is returned, at our discretion; bird(s) will be replaced with one of equal value when one becomes available, or return the purchase price paid for the bird(s).
Feathers & Birds Aviary does not assume liability for any veterinary expenses incurred.
In the event that your bird(s) dies within the first (72 hours) of purchase, an ACCREDITED AVIAN VET must perform a NECROPSY to determine the cause of death. The necropsy report and the (uncut) leg band from the bird, must be submitted to Feathers & Birds Aviary within (5 DAYS).
NO WARRANTY IS EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED IN THE CASE OF INJURY CAUSED BY THE BIRD, OR TO THE BIRD BY OTHER PETS OR HUMANS IN THE HOUSEHOLD.
This warranty is null and void in any of the following circumstances:
- The bird had been banded and the band is removed.
- Anyone in the household smokes cigarettes, marijuana, or other substances inside the home.
- Other birds (any species) have resided in the home within the past six months, or currently reside in the home at the time the new bird is introduced, and proper quarantine procedures are not followed. (Proper quarantine procedures include separate airspace (a separate room in the same house does not constitute separate airspace), dishes, toys, perches and cages).
