Do you stress when vacationing away from Conure?

[cfr70]

I take Nameliss travel pack for being in a vehicle. She's safe there secured with seat belt. Or if I decide to go into a store or something. You said you hate buses. Nameliss and I love them! Me because of zero parking. Nameliss because she likes people watching. If bus is crowded and pack awkward, Nameliss has been known to travel in my pocket.

I didn't know they'd allow you to bring your bird on the bus. That's great that she's so relaxed with traveling. Bruce is just the opposite and loves to be home where he feels safe.
If I even open the back patio windows to let in a breeze he'll fly inside the house to safety, and the longest trip I ever took him on was a drive from NY to FL and he hated every single minute of that and I felt so terrible.
Sometimes I wish Bruce was more curious about getting outside as it would be nice to take him with me on my walks, but I'm sure he'd be traumatized and at his age it's way too late to try something new and mess up his routine. (which is why I'm fretting about his pet boarding next month. His whole routine will be upturned for 5 days which will probably cause him stress.)

Poor baby. Does he have a favorite thing? Nameliss enjoys dramatized audio books and old time radio at vet. Nameliss is Bruce's travel opposite. She loves long drives. I never know what she'll mimic, insult or make snippy remarks about. I nearly wrecked once when a large van on passenger side drifted towards me. That wasn't the issue. It was Nameliss screaming, WATCH OUT YOU DAMN DUMMY WATCH OUT. I jerked the car a bit. I have only to look in the mirror to see where she got that. Also how to use it in just such a situation. It's hard not to worry when leaving pet at home or boarding. When I get home it's hard to tell who's happiest.
