I would be grateful for any tips on getting Barry stuffed into a travel cage the least stressful way for him for when the time finally comes for him to move.
I was thinking of asking if I could leave a crate sitting outside his cage so he can see it and not be fearful of it but I was wondering if this will be a waste of time given that he will not be able to fully check it out and get in it etc. I am guessing I am going to have to towel him but I have no idea how to do that so it is safe, fast and efficient. I have not had the pleasure of ever having to towel a healthy bird, only ones on deaths door that I have moved from the road side and they do not put up much of a fight. I am not really sure what the best way to go about towelling an uncooperative independent cocky would look like.
There is not enough room in his cage to leave a crate in there for him to be fed treats in and get used to it and he has been pretty much doing his own thing (totally hands off) for over five years due to the medical problems his current mum has. She can not chance having him near her head as she has a port in her skull that leads straight into her brain I believe.
Way too much for me to think about and decide on my own and all you guys give such great helpful tips so I’m begging for help here...... someone tell me how to do all this lol.
