We welcome upscale home décor, small furniture, unique artwork, jewelry, vintage or designer clothing, and accessories.To be considered, items must be clean, in excellent condition, and ready for resale. For example:
Metals polished
Artwork framed or in a protective sleeve
Lamps in working order
All items are subject to approval to ensure they meet our quality standards and are a good fit for the shop.
We Don’t Accept
Upholstered furniture, pillows, quilts, stuffed animals, electronics, children’s items, shoes, or pieces outside the categories listed above. -

If you’d prefer to bring items directly, please contact us to schedule a weekday appointment.

Approved items are placed on consignment for a 3-month window. Consignors receive 50% of the final selling price.
There is a $30 annual fee which helps cover The Bird’s administrative costs.
Please note, we do not purchase items outright.

We set prices by combining research on comparable sales with our understanding of what our local customers love. This helps us keep prices fair and competitive, so items sell quickly and the shop always feels fresh with new treasures.
We do not sell online, so our prices are lower than online marketplaces.

Unsold items that remain after the consignment period must be collected within 7 days of expiration. Items not picked up within that time frame will be automatically donated to The Bird to support our nonprofit mission or given to another charitable organization.
Consignors are responsible for keeping track of item expiration dates.
