Support FAQs
Orders & Support
What payment methods do you accept?
Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, Diners Club, JCB, PayPal, Shop Pay, Apple Pay, Google Pay and Venmo. Payments are processed securely by Shopify and we never see your card details.
Can I cancel my order?
Usually, if it is within 24 hours of ordering and the order has not shipped yet. Email support@squawkshop.com with your order number as soon as you can and we will check. Once an order has shipped or our supplier has started processing it, we may not be able to cancel it.
How do I track my order?
When your order ships we email you a tracking number. Tracking can take a day to update after the carrier picks it up, so a pause does not mean your order has not moved. If it still looks stuck, email support@squawkshop.com with your order number and we will check with the carrier.
Do you price match?
Yes. If you find the exact same item cheaper at any US store, send us the link at support@squawkshop.com and we will match it. It must be the same item, model, size and colour, and in stock at that store.
How do I contact you?
Email support@squawkshop.com. We reply during business hours and aim to answer the same day. We do not have a phone line.
Support FAQs
Shipping & Returns
Do you offer free shipping?
Yes. Standard shipping is free on orders over $49 within the continental United States. Orders under $49 pay the rate shown at checkout. A few oversized or heavy items have their own shipping charge, which is shown on the product page and at checkout.
Where do you ship?
We ship within the United States. We cannot ship to P.O. boxes. If you are in Canada, email support@squawkshop.com and we will send you a shipping quote. Canadian orders do not qualify for free shipping. We do not ship to other countries.
How long will my order take?
Most orders are processed in 1 to 2 business days, then standard shipping usually takes 3 to 5 business days. Some items ship directly from our supplier. These are estimates rather than guarantees, and if your order is delayed we will tell you and give you a new date.
How are large items like cages delivered?
Large items may travel by freight rather than regular parcel. The freight carrier may call, text or email you to schedule delivery, so keep an eye out for them. Freight tracking uses a PRO number and can look different from normal parcel tracking. Please inspect large items when they arrive and tell us the same day if anything is damaged.
What is your return policy?
You can return an item within 30 days of purchase for a refund, store credit or an exchange. It must be new and unused, in its original packaging, with tags and labels attached. Opening the box to look at an item does not affect your right to return it, and this applies to sale items too.
How do I start a return?
Email support@squawkshop.com with your order number to get a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number before sending anything back. We will send you the return address.
Who pays for return shipping?
If you changed your mind, you pay return shipping, and we recommend a trackable service because we can only refund what we receive. If the item arrived damaged or faulty, we cover everything, including return shipping.
How long do refunds take?
We process your return within 7 days of receiving it and email you when it is done. The refund can then take 1 to 2 billing cycles to show on your card statement, depending on your card company.
My order arrived damaged or faulty. What do I do?
We are sorry. Email support@squawkshop.com with your order number and photos of the damage, the whole item, and the packaging if you still have it. We will arrange a replacement or a full refund, and you will not pay return shipping. If a cage is damaged, please do not put your bird in it until we have looked at the photos.
A part is missing from my order.
Email support@squawkshop.com with your order number, the product name, and which part is missing. A photo of what you received or the page of the manual helps. We will get the right part to you.
Is there a warranty?
Warranty cover depends on the model, so ask us about the one you have or are considering at support@squawkshop.com. If anything is damaged or not working right, send your order number and a photo and we will take it up with the manufacturer directly for you.
Support FAQs
Cages & Java Trees
What bar spacing does my bird need?
Bar spacing is a safety limit. Too wide and a bird can get its head stuck or escape. Too narrow and it can trap toes. Stay at or under the top figure for your bird:
- Finches and canaries: 1/4" to 1/2"
- Budgies and other small birds: 3/8" to 1/2"
- Cockatiels and small conures: 1/2" to 5/8"
- Quakers and caiques: 5/8" to 3/4"
- Larger conures: 3/4"
- Amazons and African greys: 3/4" to 1"
- Macaws and large cockatoos: 1" to 1.5"
Which cage is right for my bird?
- Cockatiels, budgies, small conures, finches and canaries: Small Flight Parrot Cage Bundle (1/2" spacing, 38" interior height) or Elegant Flight Bird Cage Bundle (1/2" spacing, 32" x 21" x 61").
- Cockatiels, small conures, quakers and caiques: Majestic Parrot Cage Complete Setup Bundle (5/8" spacing, 32" x 23" x 68").
- African greys, Amazons, macaws and large cockatoos: Majestic Parrot X-Large Cage Bundle (1" spacing, 40" x 30" x 74"), or the Majestic X-Large Parrot Cage on its own without the bundle extras. Not for cockatiels or small birds.
Bigger is usually better as long as the spacing is right. If you are unsure, email support@squawkshop.com with your bird's species and your space and we will help you choose.
Do cages come assembled?
Cages ship in a box and need putting together when they arrive. Ask us about the model you are considering at support@squawkshop.com and we will tell you what is involved.
Is the Java tree in the photo the one I will get?
Yes. Each Java tree is one of a kind, and the Tree ID you choose is the exact tree in the photos. Please check the photos and measurements for that tree before ordering.
Do Java trees need assembly?
Yes, a little. They ship in 2 or 3 pieces so they arrive safely. The base attaches to the trunk with the long screw included, and the top branches sit onto the trunk with a built-in pin. No extra tools are needed.
