What type of bird do you have and also what is your area like? I’d suggest bringing something to cover the back pack just in case the sun is directly hitting them or they get scared

Which brand carrier/backpack do you have?
I have the pak o bird which I think is probably the best ventilated one and it does still get hot in the direct sunlight. I’d personally be very very hesitant to use one of the partial plastic back pack carriers.

My only advices would be to keep regular check of temp, air flow and shade as needed and make sure you always have water available for your bird and always (don’t ever skip this safety precaution carry an extra bottle of clean water for it just incase.

I would create a separate thread so you can get more replies. I hope you can keep your bird.
