This summer (probably August) I am going to be moving by car from Massachusetts to Wyoming, so I will need to plan where to stay along the way. If anyone here has stayed at a hotel with a bird, how did you choose where to stay, and what did you tell the hotel/housekeeping beforehand about your bird and your bird's needs?

Next summer or Fall there's a better than even chance I will be moving to another state for more schooling. According to this website on Quaker parrots, a number of the states I'm considering require all parrots to have bands. Kappa is a dusky conure so the rules about "all parrots" apply to her. She does not have a closed band, as she kept ( Read more... )

1. Travel carriers - I've got a Moluccan cockatoo, a sun conure, and a severe macaw, and all three of them will be driving with me from upstate NY to DC at the beginning of June (about a seven hour drive). Do you think they'd be ok in those plastic cat carriers for the trip, or should I invest in travel cages? If necessary, any suggestions on a ( Read more... )

I am the proud owner of 2 parrots. There's Buddy, my 10 year old Double Yellowheaded Amazon. Buddy is a wonderfully sweet, goofy bird. He has inspired me to go off to Central America and to south Texas to look at his relatives. Seeing Scarlet Macaws in Costa Rica inspired me to get my great big cranky Scarlet named Randy. With Randy, I knew what I ( Read more... )

I, like a lot of folks, have gone home to my parents' house for the holidays, and (of course) brought my birds with me. My mother even went out of her way and bought two awesome cages just for them that can stay at her house whenever we come to visit, and the rest of my (very non-bird-people) family has been great about not sticking their fingers ( Read more... )

Jasper has a travel cage. It's tiny. Truely a 'we are going somewhere and you'll be out when we get there' 18x18x22 travel cage/carrier, though it's just a little shorter than the cage he lived in for years ( Read more... )

So I'm going to be moving from NJ to CA in 3 months. While I am completely excited about the move, I'm concerned about how in the hell I'll be getting my birds there ( Read more... )

Anybody here have experience with the Poquito Avian Hotel? Here's the product listings on Windy City Parrot and Doctors Foster and Smith. Its dimensions are given differently on the two sites as either (approximately) 14x18x18", or 14x14x18", bar spacing 1/2", powder coated. The cage is described as being "not for car travel" and I'd like to ( Read more... )
