Moving with birds
Even more prone to anxiety than cats and
dogs, birds are highly sensitive creatures
that need special attention during the process
of moving. Birds are especially sensitive
to temperature changes, and can become ill
if the climate around them changes too dramatically
or too quickly.
Your pet birds can be transported in their
usual cage, but a cover should be placed
around it to prevent exposure to temperature
changes and wind. Put the cage in an area
of the car that has adequate ventilation,
but remove food and water containers to prevent
spills. However, you should still feed and
water the birds according to their usual
schedule.
Investigate local requirements at your
destination regarding birds’ entry
into a new state. Make a trip to the veterinarian
prior to moving and obtain any necessary
health records and certificates.
