How to make a claim

  3. 03

    Send your documentation

    Email the exam report and diagnostics to us. Include your order number, bird’s name, delivery date and a phone number so we can identify your placement and follow up.

    Claims are reviewed within two business days. For a covered condition, you may choose a full refund, an equal-value replacement bird or treatment reimbursement up to the purchase price.

The first days at home

Care comes before paperwork

Prepare a quiet, secure space, follow your bird’s transition diet and keep fresh water available. Keep your new companion separate from other birds pending your avian veterinarian’s advice.

If your bird seems unwell

Seek prompt advice from an avian veterinarian, especially for breathing difficulty, pronounced weakness or sudden changes in appetite or behavior. Do not delay care while waiting for a claim review or our reply.

Contact us as soon as possible and keep the examination findings and treatment records. Our support is not a substitute for veterinary diagnosis or emergency treatment.

Helpful answers

Before you need us

Keep your arrival date, veterinary appointment and placement documents together for easy reference.

When does the 30-day period begin?

Coverage runs for 30 days from delivery. The initial examination by a certified avian veterinarian must take place within 72 hours of delivery; a covered condition must be diagnosed within the 30-day period.

What if my bird seems unwell before the exam?

Seek prompt veterinary care rather than waiting for a scheduled appointment or our response. Breathing difficulty, pronounced weakness or a sudden change in eating or behavior warrants veterinary advice. Contact us as soon as possible and keep the veterinary records.

What should I include with a claim?

Send the written veterinary exam report and diagnostic results by email. Your order number, bird’s name and delivery date help us locate your order. Keep copies of treatment estimates, invoices and correspondence for any reimbursement discussion.

Is this the same as the return policy?

No. This guarantee applies to qualifying health conditions. Cancellations, satisfaction returns, non-refundable charges and refund processing are explained separately in the Refund & Return Policy.

Our lifetime rehoming commitment

Independent of this guarantee, we will always accept the return of a bird we placed, at any point in its life, at no cost to you. Contact us to discuss arrangements if you can no longer provide a suitable home.

Companion parrots are a multi-decade commitment requiring daily interaction, a specialized diet and routine avian veterinary care. Information on this site is educational and does not replace veterinary advice.
