What we move
Animals we transport
Specialist handling for birds and animals that don't travel well by post or general courier.
Pigeons
Racing and fancy pigeons, single birds or full lofts, handled by people who know them.
Chickens / Poultry
Hens, cockerels and flocks moved calmly in appropriate crates, whether it's a rehome or a whole coop.
Cage & Aviary Birds
Finches, canaries, budgies and softbills — transported low-stress, draught-free and covered.
Parrot (in travel cage)
Your parrot travels in its own travel carrier — familiar, secure, and easy to load.
Parrot (with freestanding cage)
Larger parrots moved in their standing cage where a travel carrier isn't practical.
Dog
Single dogs and small groups, collected and delivered door to door with comfort stops as needed.
