I am thinking of getting this high red pineapple female conure (thats what the breeder says it is anyway i dont know much about the different breeds)
I was originally going to get a female pineapple that was conviently in my town but the breeder hasnt responded to my last message in about a week and also put down the ad so I decided to look for more options. The conure online is adorable but is in a town 300km away. Also, it would probably be travelling in a relatives car who lives near there and frequently takes road trips to my town. Would this be a good idea? I am worried about the stress and if the bird gets car sick. any advice would be much appreciated :)

I have to drive 144km just to get to my vet lol. I've taken birds in multiple 950+ km trips, one way. It is safe. Zip tie doors to prevent escapes, put the carrier so the perch is running from front to back of the seat vs sideways, cover back half with a towel to give them a safe place to retreat to, and do a 15 mins stop every 2 hours and they'll be fine :)
