Currency and minimum order amount
All prices are in Canadian dollars. Based on the current exchange rate, this typically equates to a 20%-25% discount for American shoppers! This not only applies to the price of products but to the price of shipping as well. The minimum order amount is 10 dollars (CAD).
Shipping
All orders are shipped out on Monday ONLY.
Orders can take between 7-10 days before being shipped. I am a one woman shop, with a full time career, therefore please be patient.
I ship to Canada, USA and internationally! Everything is shipped using Canada Post. A tracking number will be provided to all Canadian customers. A tracking number will only be provided to US and International customers if chosen at checkout. Small Packet Air is the most economical shipping rate, however NO tracking number is available.

Returns and exchanges
ALL SALES ARE FINAL.
Due to health and safety of my customers. I do not resell an item once it leaves my shop to prevent the risk of spreading disease. This means all sales are final, no returns will be accepted.
I am happy to answer any questions or respond to any concerns you have prior to purchasing. Please message me before checking out to be sure what you are buying will work for you and your bird!
Order cancellations
Cancellations are only accepted if the order has not shipped out already
Toy safety
Bird safety is of utmost importance to me while making bird toys. Every material and product I use comes from bird toy part providers ensuring they are bird safe. I make the same toys for my own birds.
That being said, as with all bird toys, it is your responsibility to supervise and make sure the toys you give your birds are safe. No toy is ever completely bird safe. Parts can be torn off, can fray or can be broken, creating a hazardous situation. Please always supervise your birds and routinely inspect their toys!
Stock and materials
My toy making room, stock and materials are away from my flock in a smoke-free household. All materials are stored in containers. Parts come from reputable bird toy part sellers. Balsa and Basswood are kiln dried, non-treated and come from the United States. All dye is either bird safe VitaCritter or Wilton's gel food dye. Any metal parts are either stainless steel or nickel plated.
