I think Kim forgot to touch on those of us who can’t stand to leave our babies at home. My “professional” opinion is that if you do decide to take your bird with you, you better have a good way of moving them around. I, myself do not like to put a bird in one of those plastic dog or cat crates as I feel I am incarcerating the bird. I would rather put them in a well built, durable travel cage that allows your bird the ability to see its surroundings while on the road. This option gives your bird a sense of familiarity to its surrounding making it that much easier for your bird to adjust. It also helps your bird not feel shut in and locked away from you. (think interaction time)

I own a bird supply store and have found a great travel cage specifically for the travelling bird. Avian Adventures has produced the incredibly popular “Poquito - Avian Hotel” just for these times that you are away from home, yet want to take the bird with you. It has a removable playstand and perch for your bird to enjoy. Don’t be fooled though, this travel cage is extremely well built and is therefor very robust and a bit heavy when it comes to carrying it around. You can take a look at this travel cage at http://www.bird-supplies.net/poquito.htm.

If you are like me, your bird is part of the family so any time I go away on vacation, the bird comes too (unless not allowed by law and travel restrictions).
