Sell your birds through Noctualia

Many breeders raise more chicks than they can place, or simply have no time for customers, paperwork and shipping. We do: we have buyers in Europe, the Middle East and Asia, our own official quarantine and daily experience with CITES documentation. Choose how you want to work with us.

Paid now

Direct purchase

We make you an offer for the batch and, if you accept, we buy it. You are paid on handover and no longer have to worry about selling.

  • Fixed price in writing
  • Payment on handover, by bank transfer
  • Collection from your facility
  • We handle the transfer documents and change of ownership

Best if you want quick cash or need to free up space before next season.

Best price

Managed sale

You remain the owner until the bird is sold. We find the buyer, negotiate, handle all the paperwork and pay you the agreed price.

  • Minimum price and commission agreed before we start
  • Access to our international customer base
  • Birds can stay with you until they are sold
  • Settlement with proof of payment once the sale is paid

Best if you want to outsource the whole sales process and get the best final price.

Frequently asked questions

Do you work with breeders outside Spain?

Yes, with breeders throughout the European Union, as long as the birds have all their documents in order.

What is the difference between direct purchase and managed sale?

With direct purchase you are paid immediately and we take on the sale. With a managed sale you remain the owner until the bird is sold and the final price is usually higher, but you are paid when the sale closes.

Do I have to bring the birds to your facility?

Not necessarily. In a managed sale they can stay with you until sold. They only move earlier if an export requires quarantine at our facility.

Who handles the transfer and registry changes?

We do. We prepare the transfer documents and tell you what to sign and what to notify to your authority.

Do you accept birds without documents?

No. Without proof of legal origin we cannot buy or sell a bird.

Is it confidential?

Yes. We never publish your details or breeder code without your permission.

Looking for a species not in our catalogue?

Through our breeder network we can source it. Tell us what you need and when.
