Welfare-first planning
Transport is coordinated with the bird's comfort, handling and travel conditions in mind.
Domestic & International Delivery
Worldwide African Grey delivery, planned with welfare first.
Grey Crown Aviary carefully coordinates domestic and international delivery, subject to destination laws, veterinary documentation, route availability and animal-welfare requirements.
