If I was to get a baby macaw shipped to me through the airport, where would I pick it up?

When I picked up Jaden at the airport I had to go to the cargo area. However at some airports you may have to pick up in the baggage area.

The breeder will tell you where to pick it up, but it’s usually the airline’s baggage office. Get there a little early and find a worker. They’ll tell you exactly where to go.

Here it is always a small separate cargo pickup area. The building is on airport property but spectated from the regular airport traffic which is nice.

Usually the cargo area but I would imagine that it would depend on the size of the airport.

I had to go to the baggage claim area. Around the baggage claim area, they had each airlines lost baggage offices and where they take shipments if you aren't boarding the flight yourself.

I didn't actually *have* to be in the office though... just waited in the baggage claim area, and when the bird I was picking up was bring brought in, I could hear her out on the terminal! Left with some hilarious remarks, though... :)
