BUY IN TRUST
Of course you want to be sure about the quality and the health of the birds you buy. It's our priority to deliver top-quality birds. All the birds we provide, are put through an thorough health examination, necessary for a health certificate.
When something is found, it is immediately treated and the bird will be examined again before shipping. If the results are negative, they can be shipped.
As we are often dealing with quarantines, do you think we can take any risk at all?
