Purchase & Health Guarantee

Thank you for thinking of a Majestat Aviary baby for your family! We’re a small, family-run, FWC-licensed, closed aviary in Floral City, Florida. Every baby is hand-fed, raised in our home, and handled every day by kids and adults. Our founding pairs are disease-tested, and our babies are weaned on pellets, fresh fruits, veggies, and sprouts. We want every baby to thrive in its new home, so here’s how the process works.

Reserving Your Baby (Deposits)

• We accept deposits to reserve a baby, including babies that will go home once they’re weaned.
• Deposit amount: 50% of the purchase price
• Deposits are non-refundable.
• The remaining balance is due before shipping, or at pickup for local buyers.
• If the balance isn’t paid by the go-home date we confirm with you, we may offer the baby to the next interested family. Your deposit stays non-refundable.
• Babies go home only when they’re fully weaned. We’ll keep you updated along the way with photos and videos (Facebook and text/email as we agree).

Payment

We accept:

• Cash at pickup (local buyers)
• Venmo
• Zelle
• Credit card (we’ll send a QuickBooks invoice)

We’ll send exact payment details once we confirm your reservation with you. Card payments may include the processor’s fee; we’ll tell you before you pay.

Pickup & Shipping

Local pickup: Available in the Floral City / Ocala / Tampa Bay area. We’ll arrange a time that works for both of us.

Nationwide shipping: We ship via Delta airline only.

• Shipping cost: $250 via Delta airline.
• You pick up your bird at your nearest Delta Cargo airport location.
• Shipping depends on weather and airline schedules; we’ll only ship when it’s safe for the bird.
• We’ll let you know what health paperwork travels with your bird.

DNA Sexing

Some babies come with DNA sexing from Animal Genetics, as noted on each listing. If a listing doesn’t include DNA and you’d like it, ask us before go-home day and we’ll share current cost and timing.

Vet Check

To be covered by our health guarantee, your baby must be seen by an avian vet within 72 hours of arrival. The vet visit is at your expense. If the vet diagnoses a disease, contact us right away with the written findings so we can make it right under the Health Guarantee below.

Health Guarantee

Our health guarantee covers illness only. If an avian vet diagnoses your baby with a disease within 72 hours of arrival, we’ll replace the baby. To be covered, your baby must be seen by an avian vet within that window. We don’t guarantee bonding, talking, or temperament, because every bird is an individual and those depend on the time and care you put in at home. Remaining balance is due before shipping, or at pickup for local buyers.

• Coverage period: 72 hours from pickup or from arrival after shipping
• Not covered: injury, accidents, illness after exposure to other birds in the new home, or problems from ignored care instructions
• If you already have birds at home, please quarantine the new baby until your vet check is clear

Even after the sale, we’re always happy to answer your questions and help you find a good avian vet.

Refunds & Cancellations

• If you cancel: the deposit stays non-refundable. Any balance already paid (beyond the deposit) is refunded.
• If we have to cancel (for example, a health concern before go-home day): you choose a full refund of everything paid, or transfer to another available baby.
• We don’t take birds back after purchase for change-of-mind, but we’ll help you think through rehoming if needed.
