Terms & conditions

Verdant Aviaries operates this website and breeds and places exotic birds. Contact: lindatu1978@gmail.com. References to "we" and "us" mean Verdant Aviaries; "you" means the buyer.

You must be at least 18 years old and legally permitted to keep the species you are purchasing in your city, state and country. You confirm this when you place a deposit.

Listings describe individual living animals. Age, weight and readiness change over time, and photographs are of the specific bird unless clearly labelled otherwise. We may correct pricing or description errors and will honour any deposit already taken at the agreed price or refund it in full.

Reservations, deposits, balances and refunds are governed by our payment policy, which forms part of these terms.

Ownership and risk pass to you when the bird is handed to your nominated carrier or collected by you. From that moment the bird's welfare, housing and veterinary care are your responsibility, subject to our health guarantee.

• Provide housing, diet, enrichment and veterinary care appropriate to the species.
• Obtain and maintain any permits, licences or registrations your jurisdiction requires.
• Arrange the veterinary examination required by the health guarantee within 72 hours of arrival.
• Not resell, breed from or transfer a bird sold as a companion without telling us first; we ask for right of first refusal if you can no longer keep it.

CITES-listed species require valid documentation. We will refuse or cancel any transaction that cannot be completed lawfully, and no shipment leaves without the paperwork that applies to it.

Except for our obligations under the health guarantee and any liability that cannot be excluded by law, our total liability is limited to the purchase price paid for the bird. We are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, including veterinary costs beyond those we agree in writing, travel costs or loss of income.

Parrots are intelligent, long-lived animals whose behaviour reflects their environment. We describe temperament honestly at the time of placement but cannot guarantee talking ability, tameness, or that a bird will bond with a particular person.

All photography, text and design on this site belong to Verdant Aviaries and may not be reproduced without written permission.

We ask that you contact us first so we can resolve the matter directly. Unresolved disputes are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which our aviary operates.

We may update these terms; the version in force at the time of your reservation applies to your purchase.
