So I really want to buy a cockatiel, I've researched a lot about these wonderful little birds and I think I have reached the stage where I'm ready to keep one at home. I have found a pet store where I can buy one, but there are 2 problems:
- It's in another city (120 km away) and I can't drive a car, meaning that I would have to go by bus. My boyfriend works everyday from 10 to 19, so we can't go while our daughter is in daycare. Going together with our daughter is possible, but we'd like to avoid that since she gets travel-sick really easily and such a long trip is bound to make her vomit at least once.
- If I do go by bus, then I need to get the cockatiel from pet store to the bus station safely. Luckily, it's like a 15 min walk BUT it's rather cold outside (approximately 10 °C) and I'm pretty sure I can't just waltz around with a cockatiel in a transporting cage in such cold. I've read that I can cover the cage with fleece towels and put it in a dapple bag, but is it really safe?
