aronlevi Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Hejj all. I have had my TAG for 3 months now and it has bin going great. She is 6 years old and have bin plucking her (before i got her) but i think that was moastly cus of her diet that she got from the people who she lived with before i got her to my home. Well the thing is i work in bird research in the summer time and i out in the contry to count birds for a month or so (over the breeding season). I was wondering if i can take her with me and if she could live with me on this trip ? We would 3-4 days on each place so it would be kind of comfusing but can african grey handle that ? I would have the travel cage with me to travel in the car and a big stand she could be on in the day time. I would be counting twise per day. From 6-9 in the morning and agen from 16-19 in the evening so she could have my atention from 9 til 16 and from 19 til 22...and sleep on the stand. Is this posseble.. ?? =/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greywings Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Good question, some birds travel well and some do not only you know if your bird is easily stressed. As far as the stand it would need to be indoors for her protection from predators. Sadly Parrots even on their humans shoulders have been taken by Hawks. It sounds like she would have lots of time with you that is a positive. Perhaps some others will let you know the good and bad things they can mention to assist you in making a safe choice.

JeffNOK Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 I would try to take her on a short trip first and see how it goes. Ideally if she can handle travel, it would be great for her to join you on your journey. If it were me, I would definately take my CAG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 You will just have to try it and see what happens, my grey likes to travel with me, she does real good in a travel cage playing and chatting away as we ride to our destination, make it a fun experience and I bet she will love being with you on travels.

Luvparrots Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 My greys like to go to daughter's home with me and settle in nicely. I think if your get your grey use to travel it could be all right. I do know my greys love to be with me and miss me when I am not around. Give the traveling a try its the only way you will find out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
