Most birds tolerate cars and airplanes very well, and some love the excitement of travel; however, some birds may be stressed by travel. It is not safe for your bird to roam freely in the car while you are driving. Airlines vary in their regulations for travel with birds. Tranquilizers or sedatives should not be used during travel due to risk of reaction. Before making any travel plans, contact the consulate or border authorities of the country you are planning to enter to determine the documentation and medical testing your bird needs to travel. Contact the USDA-APHIS office for more information about international travel.
