A safer place to buy and sell poultry
Birdie Buy is built on direct communication, honest reviews, and clear expectations. Here is how we help keep the marketplace trustworthy.
What we do to help keep you safe
Safety is a shared effort. These tools and practices are designed to help buyers and sellers trade with confidence.
Buyers and sellers can leave honest star ratings and written feedback after a transaction. Reviews build accountability and help everyone make informed decisions.
Buyers with multiple completed transactions earn a verified badge, so sellers can recognize experienced community members.
Every listing and review has a report button. Our moderation team reviews reports and removes content that violates community guidelines.
Ask questions, confirm health paperwork, and arrange pickup or shipping details before you pay. Keep communication on the platform for everyone's protection.
Sellers provide breed, age, location, quantity, and shipping or pickup options. Clear listings mean fewer surprises.
We use Row Level Security to protect your data. Full addresses and payment details are never shown publicly and should only be shared directly with trusted trading partners.
Play fair. Be kind. Know the rules.
Everyone on Birdie Buy agrees to follow basic standards of honesty and respect. Sellers must represent their birds accurately. Buyers must follow through on payment and pickup arrangements. When something goes wrong, we encourage members to communicate first and report when needed.

Shipping, NPIP, and legal compliance
Sellers are responsible for following all applicable laws when shipping or transferring live poultry. This includes using approved live-animal carriers, providing required health certificates, and meeting NPIP or state-specific requirements. If you are unsure what applies to your shipment, check with your state veterinarian or the USDA before listing.
