We now have a pet canary and wonder whether anybody takes their cage bird in the motorhome with them on their travels.

We know there is no problem with passport control etc but are looking for advice.

I wouldn't have thought it very animal considerate to have a caged bird in a motorhome.

Surely it would be constantly trying to hang onto it's perch as you drive around?

Just my opinion but I'm not a caged animal fan so won't support the idea.

Birds seem to do well in the wild, hanging onto branches in the wind. Wink

We travel with our Macaw in our van. There has never been any problems.

Just be sure the cage is strapped well down. Birds are fine on a correctly sized perch, we use a wood one and a rope perch to give our bird the choice.

The main issue is that you keep the cage in a position where the bird cannot get over heated, especially if left unattended in the van.

Hi all,

Just to update the topic. The canary loved it and was totally unphased by the experience. In fact the faster and more wind noise there was the more he sang. He loved Dire Straights and Eddie Calvert by the way.

He was well seat belted in on the passenger seat at the back and was quite happy to fly around his big cage as we travelled.

We were happy that we would not get "gassed" as well. He enjoyed the flight around the van at night. In milage terms he has done the trip back home to Tenerife already. He certainly is not bored.

Alan

Has anyone taken a pet cage bird in a motorhome to France via the Chunnel?

If so, what are the formalities? I know they are not included in the Pet Passport scheme, so what rules do you need to comply with?

Chirp chirp!
