Travel, Boarding & Emergency Prep

Getting a budgie safely into a carrier, into someone else's care, or out of the building. All the preparation happens on a calm ordinary day, not on the day it is needed.

What's inside

• Car travel rules, and how to make a carrier something your bird will enter willingly
• Longer trips: airline and entry-requirement checks, and when to leave the bird home
• Sitter versus boarding, and what to ask a boarding facility
• A written instruction checklist to hand a sitter
• The emergency go-bag, packed and kept beside the cage
• What to do in a power outage — and the heat sources that are lethal to birds
• Evacuation: what to take, what not to do, and the rescue sticker for your window

Who it's for

Owners who travel, use sitters, or want a plan before they need one.
