Every coverage detail
named for what it is.
Most insurance hides behind jargon. We name things the way bird people actually talk about them — because you already know what a crop issue costs at midnight.
“The moment they step onto your finger, you're responsible for everything.”
— The Plume promise
$2.1M+
to bird families since 2021

Routine check-ups, diagnostics, and specialist consultations with board-certified avian vets.

Crop surgeries, tumor removals, wing amputations, and orthopedic procedures with full anesthesia coverage.
Emergency boarding
When you can't be there — certified avian boarding during hospitalization or family emergencies.

Antibiotics, dietary supplements, feather-plucking treatment, and behavioral therapy.

You already know
what the fear feels like.
Avian medicine costs more. Specialized labs cost more. Emergency avian vets are rarer. And birds hide illness until it's critical — by design. We cover the real numbers.

Birds hide illness
Until critical
Early coverage = early action
The claim was paid.
The bird is fine.
Bird people are a specific kind of devoted. These are their words — not our marketing copy. Real claims, real birds, real relief.
“After the claim was paid, she preened for an hour. Like she knew everything was okay.”
— Plume member, African Grey owner
“Mango had a respiratory infection that turned into something serious. The avian specialist, the specialized lab work, the antibiotics — Plume covered $1,340 out of $1,580. I cried with relief.”
Claudette Marchetti
Sun Conure owner · Portland, OR
“Our cockatoo Biscuit is 31 years old. He's outlived two cars and our first mortgage. Plume is the first insurance that didn't treat him like an oddity — they insured him like the family member he is.”
Gerald & Miriam Tran
Umbrella Cockatoo owners · Scottsdale, AZ
“I breed hand-fed conures. Each one has a name, a personality. When little Pistachio needed beak surgery at 8 weeks old, I didn't have to hesitate. Plume made the decision easy.”

The 2 a.m. worry. The vet bill shock. The guilt of “what if I'd had a plan.” Plume is the plan. A two-minute quote, no credit card, no fine print written for dogs.
We cover every feathered companion
“Every living thing in the room is deeply, quietly loved.”
That's why Plume exists.
