Safe Travel With Burd

Today, Burd and his mom came over for a visit.  Burd doesn't care for his smaller travel cage so Stefanie simply packed him up for the journey in his regular house cage.  He had an exciting day!  First, to the vet for his checkup.  Then to Parrot Nanny's for a chance to reconnect.  Then he was off to work with mom!  He'll sleep well tonight!

If you travel with your bird in the front passenger seat, be aware that an airbag can crush a wire cage.  They are very forceful!  If the traffic stops suddenly and a collision happens, tragedy could occur. Stefanie already knew this and had switched her airbag off for Burd's Big Adventure.  She also had the marvelous idea to order a seat belt extension to adapt her car for her special passenger.  Many times the existing seatbelt just doesn't fit around the cage or carrier.  Especially if your avian companion travels like Burd! 

It's our job to care for and protect our feathered charges.  Don't think it can't happen to you.
