Bird Insurance Guide

Pet birds and especially birds of prey can be expensive to buy. For this reason alone insurance is a sensible option to consider. Unfortunately, like any other pet, birds can fall ill or suffer injury during an accident. Also, a bird of prey may cause damage to third parties.

The good news is that there are pet insurance companies who are willing to insure all types of birds. Typical policy features include accidental death benefit, theft, loss of aviaries or equipment, vets fees, public liability cover and no return.

It is very likely that specific conditions apply to each policy feature and some are applicable to birds of prey such as public liability cover and failure to return if the bird of prey is let loose. If the aviary is kept outside and is wooden, insurance cover may not apply should the structure suffer damage in high winds or a storm. Other benefits associated with this type of policy include personal accident compensation should a bird handler suffer an injury from a bird of prey, examples include payment for loss of an eye, or limb.

Always read the term and conditions of bird insurance polices before purchase and if in doubt consult the pet insurance company concerned to answer any queries.
