Hey I am visiting my hometown, my parents is driving, I am a teen. It is now 9:50 pm in malaysia, we are staying for 2 nights and 3 days, should I bring my 3-4 month old cockatiel and budgie with me? The drive would take 1.30-2 hours.

2hrs is not that long of a journey.
You should bring if you can keep them safe and provided for.

Take them especially if you don't have someone you can really trust to take care of them.

Yes! Bring your babies with you. Put them in separate small travel cages. My budgies do fine on road trips and I never leave Rocky my now almost eight month old baby alone overnight.
How is Luna doing?

I have brought my bird with me to visit family before and she has done well. I always make sure to give the household a heads up and ask that they unplug any wall air fresheners and don't spray any aerosol spray while we are there. I also usually bring her small air purifier along just to be safe. Best of luck on your visit with Lalo in tow!

2 hour trip is ok, I wonder about accomidations and windows once you get there. I've actually been to malaysia. The penang george town area for like a week. I worked in semiconductors, buisness trip...not that rich.

But yeah I wonder about the accomidations while there and if a window is left open because of the heat.

Definitely supervise your birds closely. It's tragic when a beloved bird flies away. Don't ever let that happen to you. You felt terrible when Cico died- you'll feel even worse if Luna or Lalo fly away!
