Hello all
We are moving interstate at the end of the year and just wondering if anybody has any info or suggestions on transporting my IRN.
The kids and I will be flying and my hubby will be driving and taking the boat. He has mentioned taking Buddy in the car with him but I am worried about Buddy being confined to the car for a few days, he is never confined at all! Not even in his cage, only when we cover him up of a night for bed.
Has anybody has experience with transporting IRN's interstate? I know domestic airlines will not transport birds, they only take cats and dogs.
Not sure if I would trust a courier company....
any help appreciated, thanx guys and girls

Hi there,

There are pet couriers that will take anything in the way of animals. i will google tomorow and try and find them for you.

But trust me put your bird in a cage that would normally house a budgie say 2ft by 2ft stick it on the front seat with food and water do the seat belt
up and he will have the time of his life!!

I had a gallah that loved travelling.

Birds arent usually too fussy once they are into the trip the 1st half hour they pace back n forth and then settle into a spot where they can see the world.

This time of year is much better then summer so it should all be good.

By the way he is a very nice looking bird! is he tourquoise?

Thank you so much for that info
As for his colour, we were just told he was a green IRN...this is the first IRN I have owned
Had him since December 2009, hubby got him for me for Christmas...he was 12 weeks old when we got him and never been handled.
I can pick him up and give him kisses and pet him but only if he is away from his cage....gets a little territorial! lol
He has picked up quite a few words, he say:
What ya doing
Buddy boy
peek-a-boo
get it boy get it (at which point he attacks his toy)
be a good boy
come on
and he makes kissy noises, plus a few things we can't quite make out yet.
At the moment he loves getting on the floor and playing with a Bunya Nut shell...but will bite toes if you get to close to his nut! Especially the hubby's

Anyway, thank you again for that, very much appreciated

Thats pritty cool all the words he says.

They can be very picky with who they like!

He is a turquiose IRN just so you know, not that it matters if you dont intend to breed him.
