Shipping Specimens:

  1. Call Us

    Call to notify us that you will be shipping birds to us. We will give you an estimated turn-around time.

  2. Paperwork

    Submit the following forms and payment with your bird(s):
    • Print the order form, contract, tag, & mailing label.
    • Attach a Bird Tag to the leg of the bird,
    • Include a 50% deposit as a check or money-order.
    These must be filled out completely for your bird(s) to be processed.

  3. Pack

    Place the plastic bag containing the FROZEN bird(s) in an ordinary Styrofoam cooler. Surround the plastic bag with newspaper inside the cooler for insulation. Place the cooler in a cardboard box and tape shut with packing or duct tape.

  4. Label Outside of Box

    Label one of the corners on the outside of the box stating contents: Example: 2 Male Wood Ducks, 1 Male Mallard.

  5. Ship

    Try to ship frozen birds on Mondays only to reduce risk of spoilage. Ship birds via UPS or Fed Ex, using Next Day Air. DO NOT ship birds using the U.S. Postal Service. They are slow and unreliable. Use large coolers for multiple birds.
