Good morning all (well, it's morning here lol).
In about 3 weeks I'll be travelling 8 hrs to visit friends for a girls weekend. It's only two nights (8hrs both ways). Kalypso is only going to be 4 months old at that time. I love bonding with her and her flight suit should arrive this week.
Would it stress her out too much to take her with me? I have a cage I can take which she'll sleep in (it's not a small travel cage, more of a budgie size cage). Most of the time she'll be out with me except if the ladies and I go out. The cage I have also has a top that opens up for her to perch on. My husband thinks it would be too much stress for her to travel like that. Part of me agrees, but I'm worried she won't get taken out much while I'm away. She shares a large flight cage with my budgie, Pi (I let her sleep in it with him for the first time last night and they did great!), but really loves to come out for scritches and treats (she's a wee bit spoiled ).
So, I'm mostly looking for a yes or no answer - has anyone done travelling with their parrotlet? Would it be too much in such a short span? Would it be ok since she'll be with me and out of the cage most of the time?
Thanks all!
