How to Travel with Your Bird! | Carrier Training & Flying with My 7 Parrots

[@ElleAndTheBirds]

Some important details I didn't address in the video about flying with birds: - Make sure you get any required paperwork before your flight! Depending on the airline, you may have to take your bird to the vet within a certain window before your trip and get a health certificate. - Always call ahead to make sure they have space available for pets on the plane! Typically it is one pet carrier per person, but some airlines will allow two birds per carrier. You will have to pay a pet fee per carrier. - You may have to take your bird out of the carrier briefly during security. Make sure you know how to securely grab/restrain a bird and ask to go to a special room to do this instead of out in the open. I'm so lucky that this time, the TSA staff at the airport were able to check the outside of the carrier without having me remove the birds! - International travel will be much more complicated with more required paperwork and possible quarantine. (Try to avoid unless you are moving and there is no other option) - The more stressed you are, the more stressed your bird will be as they pick up on our emotions. Try to remain calm and it will go more smoothly for everyone!

[@marceonfisher5710]

Why did you first got Nemo

[@TheParrotTeacher]

Congrats on the move 🎉 It’s so important to be prepared when you need to travel with your birds!

[@jacuuplayzmehari3411]

HII!!!

[@Doingood2]

I have a question, what if someone in the airport/plane are wearing perfume or spray something like that, what do you do? I'm always afraid to take my bird paces cuz I feel like there could be a toxic air fershener or something.

[@diyaandbirds]

Congrats Elle! It could be rough moving from your childhood home, but there will be lots of new memories in Florida!

[@ElleAndTheBirds]

Thank you! It's actually been the best time of my life, I might miss the house eventually but I will never miss not living in Florida 🤣

[@BirdNerdSophie]

Travel carrier training is so important! Great video! 🦜

@@BuddyTheBudgie200 hello!

[@ayrakhan3919]

I love how calm your birds are and how much they trust you it just makes me want to get a bird

[@nellyvazquez4973]

I live in Florida too! Welcome to the Sunshine State!!!😊

[@MoonpetaI]

Congrats on the move!! Can’t wait to see the bird room tour🥰🦜

[@madisontye8156]

I love Kermit and ducky just I love all your birds ❤❤ thanks for the info😊

[@Kittoons-]

My green cheek conure used to have one of those cheap carriers and it eventually fell apart due to rust. Luckily he wasn't in the carrier when it did. Now he has a sturdier carrier so whenever we travel it's easier for him to move with us! (I hope you and the birds took the move well! I can't wait for the new bird room tour!)

[@Athousandbooks-]

Congratulations on moving. All your videos are so helpful I had gotten my own green cheek awhile back and your videos helped so much!

[@roshnidatta3469]

Hi Elle I wanted to thank you immensely on this wonderful video that you created about preparing birds prior to travel. This was the only proper resource I found online that had this topic and tips explained in so much detail. We flew cross continent with our little lovebirds and we trained them following tips you provided. Thank you and God Bless you and your birbs

[@Ryeshine]

Welcome to Florida! ❤ Glad you had safe travels

[@KtHi16.5]

My pet bird just died. I don’t know what to do. He passed about 30 minutes ago. He fell and I didn’t even know he was hurting. He passed away in my hands. He has a friend, Kiwi. They can’t live without each other. It’s like they were brothers. I don’t know how he’s going to cope. I’m crying so hard right now. They were with eachother for a year and a half straight without leaving eachother at all. If I’m crying and can barely breathe, I don’t even want to know the pain he is feeling. How to I help Kiwi cope with the loss of his best friend? I go to school so I can’t even spend much time with him. I won’t know if he’s eating or not.

[@keshavbridgelal1376]

Sorry for your loss its totally understandable❤. If u look down on her videos youll see she had a limilar experiance and she talks about it

[@vmaik4s]

God I’m so so sorry for Kiwi’s loss. I had a similar experience with one of my birds abruptly passing away, leaving her best friend behind. I also had to go to school at this time so I understand how you couldn’t spend much time with your bird. In fact I found out she died in class and immediately went to the bathroom to cry. To be honest, I grieved more than the other birds as they were there to comfort each other. That’s something I really appreciate about having a flock, they stick together even when times are tough.

[@iniyatheanimator8416]

I’m so sorry for you ur bird had a good life I’m just so sorry for what happened

[@OnPlanet._Mars]

I'm so sorry..I hope its easier for you now, and I hope your bird, Kiwi is doing well without his bestfriend..I can't imagine losing a bird that you have such a strong bond with...Rest in Peace and fly high to your passed bird.❤️🕊️

[@bjorkgujonsdottir1643]

Sorry for your los❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@leannahodson1491]

Hi Elle, thankyou so much for the tips on how to prepare a bird for travel! I hope you and your birds are enjoying Florida so far!❤

[@a.c.w.1927]

Welcome to Florida Elle! I think you’ll love it here! I’ve lived here for 30 years on the East Central coast and love it! (The heat and bugs suck though!) lol 😂

[@sillysyndromekid]

Congratulations on moving!! Really glad you got to keep your birds :)

[@galeem713]

I put the carriers on top of the cage. I left the door open. I came into the bird room to give them their nutriberry and they all went into the carrier on their cage to get the treat.

[@petswithsimrah7770]

It is a very important video so ur bird can be comfortable along the journey ❤❤ tnx!

[@Eee-d4x]

So happy your back!

[@catherine6653]

I enjoyed this video. Excellent training tips to prepare a bird for travel.

[@Anneeee_12315]

[@RachealWhitney]

Congratulations on the move! And did you end up having to rehome the bunny's?

[@MisterTene]

very well done this video

[@musabmalik5341]

So sweet 👍👍👍👍

[@OCAVIARY]

Congrats on the move🎉

[@jurassicblue556]

Thanks for this video I'm going to enjoy carrier training my 2 kakarikis and 2 cockatiels

[@jurassicblue556]

I only got them 3 weeks ago so once they fully settle in a month or so I hope I'm going to start hand training with the the guidance of ur amazing videos then start carrier training I'm in the uk so probably won't start carrier training until next spring or summer because bird flue outbreaks occur around this time of the year in Cornwall I do have bird experience however so I know a fair bit not enough to be an expert because I study at duchy college one of the best animal based colleges in the UK this will be my third year but I love ur videos they are so educational so thank you for making them

[@restinpeaceforest]

The bird queen is back ❤

[@moonlightforever-C57]

Hello Ellie I’m a new fan also if u have toys with bells be careful cuz there’s a sharp end if u want a bell with ur bird cage get the long one

[@sajidshah7256]

Your a good bird mom and I ❤ your birds they are sooo pretty

[@Jellyoscar]

Omg I never noticed budgies are so cuteee!!!!! I only have a cockatiel

[@dragonhex]

I had one of those plastic bird moving cases and yes, its not permanent, it was just to get the bird to my house, but we did use it to bring the bird outside where it has been living for around 2-3 months. This was a concern to me because I couldn’t bring the bird out, but we found other ways to interact. I’m moving my bird back in very very soon, and I plan to use the plastic cage again. It won’t be a permanent thing; we will most likely get rid of it when we have the cage set up. So excited to start over with my not-so-new (like 8 month old) bird!

[@cch1586]

You're a good bird, Mama ❤❤

[@Cookie_monster072]

I'm so happy for you!!!

[@lilstar822]

Your videos are so helpful cuz flying with birds are important and I’m getting a budgie in like 2 days I’m sooooo exited and I hope the move was good and I can’t wait for the room tour. I love your videos it will help me so much when I get my budgie

[@skayathewolf2956]

HAPPY EARLY BDAY ELLE!!! ❤️🎉 I hope you have the best bday ever

[@nellyvazquez4973]

Elle I'm glad to hear about traveling with your feather birds... I also traveled to Boston in August with my sweet cocktail with Delta Airlines and used a travel backpack carrier and for some reason they took me to customs area and was asked if I could take her out the carrier? I did so refused being that it was her 1st time out the house and in a carrier, anything could of make her fly off so I took out everything inside the carrier except My bird... They where so serious so they swab & scanned the see through carrier smh. At the end omw I read on the tag "not to remove your pet from the carrier" I'm like don't they know that? Next time I'll have my bird on leash incase 😂🤦🤷

[@valeriajimenez8057]

What documents they request you to flight with your bird

[@jenbunny9112]

Congratulations on college ! Welcome to Florida they do have exotic bird expos here too !

[@thepairofkeetsflock]

[@ScootandWillow]

Elle, I need to know!!! Where did you get your bird tree stands for outside of the cage?! I want to give my birds the ultimate play room

[@exnoravenki]

# 59th I love birbs btw a few years ago our birds ( mojo and aqua ) lived in a 3x2 cage and I know now this is to small thanks to ur vids then aqua passed away😢 and we got a second cage for another bird name rio we still miss aqua the cage was the same size but them we saw ur vids and got them a 5 foot flight cage for just the two of them btw they are let out whenever and rio gave birth to 4 eggs 1 died and 2 are fertile so that is exiting if you have some tips pls tell us and thanks to ur vids our birds are living the best lives going to the park every day

[@Clarabicalho393]

Every nice Elle and Florida is a good place to live in because I go there for vacation but be careful in Florida because they are some hurricanes in Florida but Flordia is a good place to live in but be careful with hurricanes and with the birds and I think the birds might love living in flordia❤❤😄

[@az-vx2cw]

college. you go girl. What is your major...ornithology? LOL. Seriously though congrats on being able to go to college and the move to Florida. I hope you and the birds enjoy it.😊

[@gabby_theboss]

IL I am a very big fan of your videos. I recently got a bird around Christmas time and we’ve been trying very hard to get him to bond with us but it just won’t work. Any tips you can give us to help

[@roshnidatta3469]

Great and helpful video. For international flights is it better to microchip or put open leg ring for grown up lovebirds?

[@loveb2339]

Great video 👏🏻

[@charlize123]

Hi Ella I'm one of you biggest fans and I'm planning on getting 2 Birds do you have any advice??

[@HappyWingsbd]

Lovely 😍

[@ImScarletYippe]

These carrier will be soo useful for me tysm and I wanna know how to tame a un socialised bird like cocktails and finch's.. And I absolutely love ur videos and ur lovely birds and u are the most helpful person for bird tips

[@aba9286]

I am looking to buy a sun conure and your video was super helpful. I travel between 2 homes. Florida and NY. How difficult is it to travel with your birds? Did any other passengers complain. I understand conures can be very vocal.

[@mahmoud.ch77]

Finally new video

[@Ragon121]

Hi!, what is your opinion on what i should do?? I’ve been wanting a pionus maximillian for about a month and had been doing a whole bunch of research. I also would like to mention that I own a male cockatiel and I’m not sure if that would be a good fit because of the size difference and personality and beak size, what are your opinions on this situation? I’m open to hear some feedback and I would really would like to hear from your point of view. I would also like to say that I am in between of deciding if I should get a green cheek conure or a pionus parrot, I love both of those parrots but I’m mostly looking if it’s a right fit for my cockatiel so he won’t be harmed in any way. Thank you in advance for the information you might give 🙏🙏💓!.

[@Equestrian_lover585]

I’m about to go to Florida in two weeks

[@avapaepcke8125]

congrats on the move!! can't wait to see the new bird room tour!! also, I have just a couple of questions. my first is how did you also move with your rabbits and birds? also, my cockatiel is afraid of the dark and I always have to have a light on for her so she won't freak out. how can I get her more comfortable of the dark? if anyone would answer any of my questions I would greatly appreciate it 😊. again congratulations on a new chapter of your life elle!!

[@anotherdude9456]

This was exactly what I was looking for. If you are not moving do you have any suggestions on if theres a temporary cage to have you bird stay in when you reach your vacation destination?

[@eprohoda]

brethtaking picture-=))

[@little1133]

Do you think a bird would be fine staying a couple weeks in a large travel cage, for a longer vacation?

[@smokeyeyes9351]

So good to see these carriers. I have a pet parrot but she speaks so loud. Is there any carrier that can lower their sound?

[@xMadhavandlifex]

oh its so good to cage birds HOW WOULD YOU FEEL IF YOU WERE CAGED YOU LITTLE

[@SecretLifewithPets909]

Cool you are in Florida What if you get the bird and you have to move right away?

[@izzy_eq3]

I love that she talked about the cages with the plastic bottom! My tiel Benjamin was in the cage while we were bringing it to the car and the bottom fell right off! He was lost and had flown five miles before someone found him! I still can’t believe that we got him back. Truly a miracle. But yes don’t use those to travel and if you do zip tie the bottom.

[@Kimmakesflowerz]

THE GODDESSS OF BIRBS HAS DONE A VÍDEO YAY

[@Cloudydragon-p8t]

I’m just curious, can you use bird harnesses? Are they good for your bird? If not, what should I use when I take my bird out cause I got a buggie And I would love to take him outside more and I’ve seen harnesses, but I don’t know if they’re safe and I’ve used your channel for a lot of my research on budgies and other birds, so if you could reply that be great

[@wiz8744]

How did you move their normal large cages to the new house?

[@No-One20]

How did you transport the bunnies? Just curious since you already had 1 carrier per person

[@dsingsit]
