Bird Comfort Tips

Ensuring your bird’s comfort during travel can make the trip much less stressful. Start by acclimating your bird to its carrier well before the trip by allowing it to explore the space and rewarding it with treats. Make sure the carrier is the right size—roomy enough for the bird to stand, but not too large. For added comfort, place soft padding on the floor of the carrier to provide cushioning during travel. During the trip, maintain a stable temperature and avoid direct sunlight or cold drafts. If the journey is long, provide food and water to keep your bird nourished and hydrated. Creating a calm environment will help your bird remain comfortable and reduce travel anxiety.
