Pet's info: Bird | Unknown - Bird | Male
Im going to travel by bus and i want to bring my bird with myself. It takes 5 hours in the bus and the place where we arrive is a home(I mean we wont be in a tent or sth like this). The important part is that my bird is not completely tamed. Im in a dilema that should i bring my bird with myself or give it to someone to take care? Thanks for answearing

It would probably be the least stressful to have someone come and watch Cheeko so that he isn't stressed by the sudden change in environment. Providing extra food and water dishes can help while you are away if it is only going to be for a few days. If you must be gone for a long time, or no one can watch him, then bringing him in a smaller travel cage that has food and water in it is best. Covering the cage with a cage cover or sheet/towel can also help reduce stress by making it darker and calm for him during your travel. Once you've arrived, keeping him in a low traffic area away from pets and people may help him settle in.
