I just found out that I'm going to be moving from my hometown in New York to Austin, Texas sometime this summer. All seven birds (and my cat!) will be making the trip with me and my boyfriend. We're going to be driving down, and trading off so that we won't have to stop for the night. It's about a 26 hour drive (not including rest stops) and I am very nervous about not only moving to a new place, but the actual trip down there with my flock.
I want to start preparing them (and myself) for this now and I would really appreciate some help!
I'm assembling a list of things that I need to have in the van for them, including food, water and medical supplies. I'm going to start taking them all on short car rides and I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed trying to think of what else I need to cover to make this journey as stress-free as possible for everyone.
Of course I am also worrying about making their adjustment to a new home as easy as possible. This is probably going to be very stressful on them all, so any suggestions for ways to help them de-stress after the move would be beyond amazing.
