Temperature Restrictions
Continental Airlines can ship ALL year around. There are no temperature restrictions at most of their airports. They have a different shipping system than Delta. Delta ONLY ships if outdoor temperature upon arrival is between 40 degrees and 85 degrees. I try to use Delta as much as possible because it is cheaper. I use Continental only if there is severe weather. Both are safe. Small birds such as Parrotlets are not shipped with luggage but in seperate location on the plane. They will not come out on the baggage carousel, but a representative carries the carrier out and it is delivered to the LIVE AIR CARGO facility. All birds are handled through this special area of the airport, please do not try to pick up your bird at one of the DELTA's regular arrival counters. You must go to the LIVE AIR CARGO PICKUP facility, located at your local airport. PLease call them for location, pickup times & directions.
*YOUR BIRD/S ARE INSURED FOR FULL VALUE WHILE EN ROUTE TO YOUR DESTINATION & are FULLY INSURED UNTIL PICKUP.
