Ugghhh...airlines!

Eco, my new Senegal, was suppose to land at the Philadelphia airport at about 7:07 tonight, not a bad time since I have to drive about an 2 1/2 hrs to get there. Unfortunately, even with having a 2 hour layover at the Minneapolis-St Paul Airport, they managed to not get him on the plane. Fortunately, they called me just as his status updated on the tracker and are able to get him on a later flight. He'll get in at 10:30. Poor guy, not only does he have to deal with jet lag, but he had to spend a long day at airports.

Can't wait until he is safely in my hands.

I hope he gets to you soon! It is a pain when the flights are late.

Aww I'm minutes away from the airport, I hope they gave him fresh water at least.
Praying he arrives safely!

I hope everything goes as planned from here on out. Let us know if something happens. I am not far from the MSP airport either and could help if needed

Your little sennie will be FINE!

Hang in there, Dawn -- this happened to me with Pickle (from FL to Phila. Int'l by way of ATL). He was due in around 3pm and didn't get in until after midnight! I didn't get him until 2am... and he was fine as could be. Pickle's breeder stocked his carrier with plenty of millet sprigs, seed and fresh fruit.

Best of luck and please keep us posted... if I didn't have to work an overnight I'd give you my cell and meet you over at PHL to keep you company

Thanks for the support and the offers of help! He did make it on the second flight and made it to Philly okay. But just to add to the stress of making sure he made the second flight, I got lost! I finally made it there about 11:45 worried that Delta baggage claim would be closed. Fortunately, they were still open and Eco was none the worse for wear. Of course I had to get lost again trying to go back to the turnpike to get home(can you tell I am cell phoneless and GPSless? . I am glad I had today off of work because by the time I got home and Eco settled and the rest of my crew settled it was 4am.

What happened that Pickle arrived late? Eco's breeder told me she won't ship any birds through Atlanta anymore; she's had too many issues there.

glad to hear that Eco is home safe with you!
