Shipping via the USPS?

I participate in two other parrot related forums and there are people there who had parrots shipped to them through the mail. In most cases, it seems to have worked out well. It's not really something I'd want to do though. Of course, I would never buy a parrot without actually meeting him/her first anyway.

Awww, hi biteybird! I'm very well, thank you! How are you and your flock?? 💗🦜

Hi, Biteybird...

Things are much better in New York State. For more than a month, fewer than 1% of COVID-19 tests have come back positive. Most businesses have been allowed to reopen, though with necessary restrictions such as limited capacities and mandatory social distancing. Schools are just beginning to reopen too. In my area, most schools are using a combination of in school and at home instruction. Masks are required in New York State in all public places and most people willingly comply. Some things are still in short supply at stores, and some items come and go. After being plentiful for a while, some paper products are again absent from store shelves. Vinegar has been out of stock at most stores around here, except for expensive artisan vinegars. I use apple cider vinegar to clean the parrots' food and water dishes, but I'm not willing to pay US$15 for a tiny bottle of fancy artisan vinegar for that purpose. Most of the northeastern U.S. is much improved from the way things were in the spring; other parts of the country have seen impressive surges in coronavirus cases. In spite of the improvements in New York State, it wouldn't be accurate to say that things are normal; it will be a long time before things return to the way they were before the pandemic, and some things probably never will.
