Canada has new (ish) and evolving rules for shipping birds. After reading them over, then building shipping "boxes" then finding out they were no good, I ended up using a modified Cat carrier to ship last time (last year).
They just shipped it back via Greyhound.
I doubt I'll be shipping birds again.......too expensive. It is a 4 hour drive round trip to the air port. Shipping costs. Then "they" have to ship the Cat carrier back. All adds up fast & I end up paying money to sell birds....because no one wants to pay all the costs.
If someone wants birds from me now, I let the birds hatch out, then the person can have all they hatch, and drive here (or at least part way) and pick them up.
Besides, I seldom sell, more often than not, I trade something.
