Does anyone have suggestions of how to vacation with a parrot? Has anyone attempted this? How did it go?
Wow, so was this almost a 20 hr car ride in total? Just trying to get my head around traveling in the car for 8-10 hours with my two lovebirds. Thanks for the inspoWe traveled with Rico from Texas to Florida last year to visit my family for the holidays. We drove so I can’t comment on air travel with a bird (though I’ve heard if they are considered an “emotional support animal” the airlines are more amenable).
He was in his car cage for the trip and we bought a bigger cage to stay in when we were there that was easily portable. Honestly, he never really used it. He was out most of the time and slept in the car cage.
Vacationing with your birby is wonderful! It’s a great adventure for them and they don’t have to go through the anxiety of separation from you. I highly recommend 😊
Well! I hope I don’t break your inspo bubble, but it was East Texas to the FL panhandle. So, like about 8 hours total. I can’t stand long distance driving so 20 hours…I just wouldn’t leave home! 😃Wow, so was this almost a 20 hr car ride in total?

Hmm... I know some people have done this before. If you're talking about vacation where you go on a plane to travel it's practically impossible you have to get accepted to the flight, you have to take many tests to let them know that your bird has no virus and so much more but if you are talking about road trips you could try but it depends on the bird but some birds don't for example Koko does not get car sick and I go on short vacations with him.Does anyone have suggestions of how to vacation with a parrot?
