Agreement and Guarantee

	AGREEMENT PAGE
	It is very important to me that my babies have a good home and live a long healthy happy life, it would break my heart if a buyer lost one of my bird due to inexperience. It is also important to me that all of my customers have a good experience bonding with one of my birds. This won’t happen if the bird gets sick and you don’t know what to do for it. Which is why I urge you to contact me when ever you’re in doubt of anything from training to how to deal with health problems. Feeding concerns are some of the most frequently raised questions, so here's a little quick advice...Some foods are toxic for exotic birds Click here for proper feeding and diet instructions. Another good piece of advice for you, is to locate a Board Certified Avian Vet near you and take your bird in for a checkup. This link will help you locate a vet near you. Board Certified Avian Vets took the extra four years of college to become bird specialist. I have traveled three hours to the nearest Board Certified Avian Vet, other vets are not knowledgeable enough and can misread critical symptoms. Keep in mind that many vets won’t see an emergency case on the weekends if you’re not an established customer. So a quick check-up upon the purchase of a new bird will both insure your bird’s health and open the door for a weekend emergency, if one should ever arise.
	Bird Guarantee
	Since birds have a high metabolism, they can contract illnesses and become sick very quickly, I can only guarantee that my birds are healthy and free of any diseases when they leave my facility. The buyer must take the bird to a avian vet within the first five working days of ownership to have the bird checked out, or all guarantees are null and voided. I cannot be responsible for what the bird may have picked up after it left my care. If by some slim chance, your bird dies in your care during the first week of ownership (which has never happened to date, but if it did), you must have a necropsy done by a Board Certified Avian Vet (using a regular vet voids the guarantee) to prove that the problem was caused by something that happened on my end. Then send the results, with the refrigerated (not frozen) bird’s carcass back to me, so I can have my vet confirm this as fact. Then, and only then will the bird be replaced, or money refunded at my discretion. Yeast infections and all other infections in young parrots are very common and can come on suddenly (within hours) from stress, improper feeding (old, sour, or moldy food), environmental changes in temperatures, dirty cages, or fumes from cleaning fluids. Most infections are easily cured by a knowledgeable avian vet, it is up to the buyer… to know when the bird is sick and get the medical attention of a avian vet for your bird in a timely fashion. There are no guarantees or warrantee against death caused by infections, especially when a vet could have saved it‘s life.
	Policy For Unweaned Babies
	I only sell unweaned babies to experienced hand feeders, if someone convinces me that they are experienced and are not...well this is when folks should be more honest. It is much harder to know if there is a problem with a Baby Macaw that young, so you have to know what you're doing and know when to take it to a vet. You can aspirate the baby with formula and lose it in seconds. Or burn its crop with formula that is too hot so he can't eat. Or let it get chilled by a few degrees that would cause a whole host of other problems. I have no control over how the baby is cared for after it leaves my facility, so I cannot be responsible for the mistakes a customer makes. For these reasons no one Guarantees unweaned babies, and either do I. You will have a great bird at a really cheap price... if you know what you're doing, but for this price, you accept all of the risk. If you have never hand fed a baby bird, a Macaw is not the bird to learn on, one little mistake could be very costly.
