How to Sell a Bird Online

When a bird breeder or owner decides to sell a bird, the first order of business is finding a buyer. The Internet has opened up new markets to sell about anything--even birds--online. Bird sellers can create and market their own websites, or advertise through classified sections or forums on websites for bird enthusiasts.

      Create a website that features photos of the bird you want to sell. Google Sites allows you to create free websites if you do not have the knowledge or time to create a website from scratch. Include information about the kind of care that the bird will need, estimated costs of keeping the bird and your asking price. Include your contact information.

      Check out potential buyers carefully to ensure that they have the necessary equipment and understand how to properly care for the bird. Settle on a delivery agreement that will not distress the bird. Courier services such as Animal Couriers (animalcouriers.com) and the United States Postal Service (usps.com) will transport birds with an estimated two to three day shipping time. Create a secure and humane shipping container for the bird that meets the courier's specifications.
