Hi, Mitch and Catherine – I’ve been searching the Internet and YouTube for ways to connect with people who RV with their parrots. Not finding much, and what I do find is too old! Any suggestions? Thanks, Lisa

Are Birds Happy When They See Us After a Long Absence?
Miriam writes to us with a concern,
Hello there! Trying to find a past blog relating to my current situation, and value your input.
My Caique is staying with my parents for about 37-40 days. He likes them but I miss him tremendously & hear him scream for me when he hears me on the phone or FaceTime. I will need him to have some distance too from my husband for a while since he got a transplant once we get home.
Wondering how Mango will be when he sees us again – do birds just forget us? Thank you so much for your help

Whats the Best Way to Introduce a New Carrier to My Cockatoo?
Patricia N. explains,
I have an Umbrella Cockatoo and have a new travel cage arriving soon. Always hard to get it to try anything new and he’s not a fan of cages, other than his usual ‘home’ cage.
Any tips on how best to get him inside his new travel cage. Thank you
Dear Patricia
Set it up right next to the bird’s regular cage. On a table to raise it up if possible. Put some food in it, treats, toys, and let your bird check it out.

How Do I Find a Big Enough Carrier Anywhere for My Macaw?
Christie W. writes
My beloved Macaw is 44 inches long including a 26-inch long tail.
I’ve searched on Amazon and everywhere for 3 years but no carrier will accommodate him and I will NOT allow his tail to be bent in a smaller one (the largest Wingabago made is still too short for him).
