We're headed to my family's for Thanksgiving today and it's the first time I'll be taking both tiels with me.

The travel cage is fairly small, and I'm stressed out - really worried that they're going to fight in such cramped quarters... or that Miles is going to hate the car :eek: But we'll see how it goes. We can pick up another travel carrier while we're there if it gets bad. We do eventually need a more permanent travel solution that fits two. (suggestions?)

Cat's coming with us, too. Staying in the travel trailer as usual so it'll be just like camping :D

First trips are always exciting, and can be stressful. Watch the situation carefully ,and be prepared for the unexpected. That's all you can do. You and your family- including feathered and furred- have a great holiday! :)

sounds fun :) I use the avian adventures poquito hotel for Bord, it is a good size for one bird. You could get two. Ozzie, when he travels, will be in just a small cage that is big enough for a couple toys and some perches.

That's the travel cage I have too!

You can try doing a few test drives. Maybe take Miles by himself first for a couple short drives and then try a couple short drives with them together to see how they do.

Have fun and hope they get along! How long is the drive? I always travel with my tiels in separate cages because I know that one of them will end up harassing the other.
