Bird Travel Preparation

Preparing your bird for travel involves more than just packing a carrier. Start by familiarizing your bird with the carrier days before the trip to reduce anxiety. Gradually increase the time your bird spends inside the carrier so that it feels more comfortable when the actual travel day arrives. Stock the carrier with essentials like food, water, and toys to keep your bird occupied. It’s also important to monitor the weather; birds are highly sensitive to temperature changes, so keep the car or cabin temperature stable. Make sure the carrier is well-secured during the trip to prevent sudden movements. If traveling by plane, check the airline’s requirements for pet travel in advance. Being well-prepared will help make the trip smoother and less stressful for both you and your bird.
