Moving with birds

Post by Newbirdmom »

I know I have not ben on lately I have ben very busy with the horse and moving now. I am not sure how to move with the birds. I sold the pair that where just scared to death of people. I was scared they would feak out in the car and die. I do still have Oscar and I also have an albino that has no name yet. Would you get a carrier that is dark for them? I have other pets that are going I just do not want to scare them and I can not part with them I am moving to TN just outside of Nashville.
Thank you

I would get a carrier that is dark.. Like a cat carrier or similar. A fave toy or treat could help too. Goodluck with the move!

the last time i moved Lou was transported in a "new home" box i got from the pet store. I wasn't going far. I also covered him with his blanky. Lou loves being in the car. There was 2 times last winter that we had to leave the apt due to no power. He has his own travel cage and he talked the whole time , my budgie just goes places in her cage, it's small enough. I was really worried about the kids too but they were fine. Good luck with the move.

:lol: Jibby loves car rides too. He loves talking to the people when stopping at the lights. He had a blast going to the vets! But I need a carrier for Yoda. We took him home from the breeder in a small cage with a blanket over it. He was very stressed going to his new home.

I have travelled a fair bit with mine, as we go for holidays at my parents place 4 hours away. I have a small cage for them each and keep them covered with a sheet until they get used to the movement of the car then remove part, so they still feel safe but can look out the window. When I have a passenger we let one out at a time, but they are very tame and stay still, otherwise this would be unsafe. Justy remember to empty the water containers first :oops:
