Nike's first camping trip

bill_e · May 27, 2016

Well, we just completed the first full day with Nike camping (We also have our dog Corbin and one of our cats, Fat Cat, who I have to give subcutaneous fluids to which is why she's along).

Anyway Nike has been great. She talked and made sounds for 3 hours, the entire way up here yesterday. I got her situated in the camper and the took her for a Pak-O-Bird walk which went off fine.

Sitting on her Poquito Avian Hotel travel cage

Today she spent 4 or 5 hours with us outside sitting in her cage in a screened in EZ-Up. She decided to tak a bath in the small cup in the Poquito cage....kinda prehistoric looking I think.

We then took a walk with Corbin and Nike in the Pak. At one point a loose black lab pup came up to Corbin and he was followed by his owner. As the two were walking away Nike blurted out "What are you doin?"

More pics to follow as the weekend progresses.

Great Hawk Head Fix Pic's! Camp-On!

Feel the Fear of Death! Behold the Deadly Wet Hawk Head. That would for sure keep the odd finger out of the cage.

That is great .. Love the pictures. SO happy he enjoys it

Another laid back day but HOT!! mid 90's. Two walks with her. My dog Corbin was not feeling like the center of attention that he normally is so while we were out for a DQ cherry dip we stopped in a fancy pet store and got him a cookie.

And of course one of Nike.

90's? Up in NH? Jeeze!

Love the pictures though! Hawkheads are absolutely beautiful birds (except when wet, kind of like gremlins.)

Hi bill!

I haven't posted on your recent threads but have been watching your pak o bird adventures closely since I'm thinking of it for my ekkie. Keep the updates coming!

A bit too cool think for a walk with Nike so we're just hanging out in the camper waiting for he sun....a far cry from yesterday's scorcher.

By the way I'm wearing my flannel "poop shirt" which also serves to protect my neck from painful pinches. She's gentil on my ears but sees every mark on my shoulder and neck as food.

Fab pics and sounds like you are all having a wonderful family holiday...keep enjoying the sunshine and the company of your wonderful traveling companions

Loved the pics

Sunny and in the 80's today so Nike got to go on two walks. I also left her in the Pak outside on the picnic table under our Ez-uo for a couple of hours. She was quite content and preened most of the time.

What a great adventure, Bill. You have a really nice setup for both bird, cat, and humans!!

Nice that Nike is enjoying the vacation so much... those carriers seem to be a great idea as they get all the benefits of the fresh air with the feeling of the security of being camoflauged...way better than the travel cage I carry Mr Biggles and Peter Pan in outdoors. Enjoy the rest of your vacation

Nike rode in the rear passenger compartment of my of my truck on the fold down platform floor.

She's home and was driving me crazy with her squawking...so early to bed for her. I'm sure she needs it since she didnt have much privacy for sleeping the past 5 days.

Love your hawkhead and the photos! Looks like a great time; I'm glad you got to share it with each other.
