Rough Swith a Parrot

[fishsail]

We have an Eclectus parrot, great bird, but he doesn't like a lot of commotion. I was wondering how others that travel with parrots handle it when the seas get rough?

We had an acrylic travel cage custom built and mounted to the wall in an aft cabin. Our African Grey went in there underway & at night. Did fine and Greys tend to be high strung.

On one particularly rough crossing she chewed thru her perch.

I would take the parrot out for few test sails to see how it works out.

Note: crossing international borders with a parrot can be a PITA.
