    Frequently Asked Questions

    Can I return a bird if I change my mind?
    No. Live birds are not returnable for change of mind. If your circumstances change, our adoption program connects your bird with a vetted new family, contact us and we'll help.
    What if the bird seems unwell or unresponsive at the moment of delivery?
    Don't accept the handover, tell the delivery handler immediately. The bird returns to our aviary the same day for an urgent vet check, and we'll WhatsApp you about next steps once we have the vet's findings.
    Does the return policy apply to adoption birds?
    Adoption birds have a separate 14-day trial period by agreement. See /bird-services/bird-adoption-dubai/ for details.
