Thoughts About Air Carrier Delivery of Parrot
I talk about my experience getting Truman shipped to me by airline and provide some suggestions for anyone considering getting a parrot sent to them from a breeder. I explain why air shipment isn't too stressful and can be better than a long car ride. I try to weigh the pros/cons of both and provide some time estimates of how long the parrot can end up in a carrier.
Lots more things to blog about soon: converting to water bottle, playing with parrot, and review of breeder. I'm still not doing any training because the parrot is really young relative to its abilities. He can fly but can hardly control where he goes. His attention span is short and he's still not used to eating on his own in new cage let alone working for food. So it may be a week or more before I even begin any real training. I'm just going to stick to bonding/taming for now but will still post my results nonetheless.
