Peafowl Shipping Boxes

[CORNISH_MAN]

Does anyone know where I can get a box to ship 3 grown peafowl? Or even if they make one that big? I thought the swan shipping boxes could hold up to 3 full grown birds but I cant seem to find them anywhere. Thanks

I have more questions than answers. Who do you use to ship live animals? I know US postal service ships Live Chicks, But full grown??
As to what to use for containing birds in shipping. Consider dog cages that they ship on airplanes.

I use USPS to ship my birds. Yes, many people ship adult birds. I did this past week to @mandyok in a swan box. Occasionally some may die but I have not had losses recently. There also is shipping through Delta or United airlines which is pricey but you can get birds the same day.

How many adult birds can you ship in a swan box?

I believe it has places to check for singles. JEDDS I believe had the best price. Look around.

I think two adult peafowl could fit but I personally would not put three in a swan box.

I agree, no more than 2. I had 1 shipped to me in a swan box, and would not have wanted to see 3 adults crammed in there, plus it may exceed the weight limit.

A male with a train will need a box much bigger than a swan box, but i agree with what others have stated 2 hens would be ok

Make sure you ship them in good weather. On Hopkin's site it says:
