Delta no longer accepts birds as an ESA.Before I learned that California banned quakers, I know Delta would allow me to travel with mine if their carrier fit underneath the seat in front of me on the plane. However, there was a two pet maximum on each flight so I had to arrange it make sure no one else was flying with a pet.

Some pets can travel with Delta as a carry-on or shipped as (very special) cargo, depending on their size. Review the requirements at delta.com.www.delta.com

Write that down in stone somewhere. The worst candidate as an EMA. EMA is a joke in my opinion.A bird should never be an emotional support animal. They can NOT be with you 24/7 in all stressful situations.
The world we live in.... most times I have no comment.Write that down in stone somewhere. The worst candidate as an EMA. EMA is a joke in my opinion.
Wow, I would have loved to see a photo of that! The only ESA I have seen on any of my flights was a duck. It was pretty cute, but the handler didnt sit anywhere near me so I dont know how the duck fared on the flight.I think this decision came after the lady who'd brought her ESA peacock on board. Now let's see if they also rule against miniature ponies, because, Yes, someone once brought their ESA miniature pony on board.
I am so happy you said something! To me, it seems like the airlines cracked down on ESAs because too many people were abusing the system, which is a shame for those who do need ESAs. One of my friends had gotten an ESA for his 6 mos old puppy so that he would be able to take his pup to the bars. There was no other reason for the ESA......and for the record I should clarify that this is an extremely sore subject for me.
Years back I was hired to do a series of performances at a few pet expo's on the east coast. When the airfare schedule arrived to me it included a laminated tag listing Echo as an ESA animal and also contained a letter from a therapist stating that I required the bird with me at all times for emotional support! Excuse me?
I called immediatley and asked what the .... it was and I was told it was $200 more per trip to pay for the bird but listing him as ESA was free. I not politely told him to pay it before I sued him!
I agree there are situations where it makes sense for them to not be present. Aa far as taking them on vacation goes anyone who has a parrot especially an Amazon can attest to the fact that they suffer when left alone for long periods of time. So its not only for the benefit of the owner but for the bird as well. Birds are NOT for everyone as they are a huge responsibility. These birds did not ask to be born in captivity or to be pets. Therefore, I would hope and pray those who choose to become a bird parent understand they are not things but a member of the family and should be treated as such. Apparently that is NOT the case hence it's part of the reason why there is a huge rehoming population.ESA gets massively abused in my opinion. I’m pretty sure everyone can say that their pets bring them joy, make their life happier and help them destress. That doesn’t mean they need to be with you 24/7 and that you can’t go on vacation without them. I just came back from a cruise where some lady had little fifi sitting at the table with her on the dining room. That was disgusting imo

I recently learned Delta allows you to travel with your bird for a fee so long it is within the continental US and I believe there is a 2 pet limit per flight so it's better to book your flights via telephone so they can advise whether or not there is room for your bird's reservation as per the 2 pet limit.I agree there are situations where it makes sense for them to not be present.
