GREATER SULPHUR COCKATOO (MELBOURNE TO GOLD COAST)

[jerry0001]

HI ALL,

NEW TO THIS SITE.

FIRSTLY I AM IN URGENT NEED OF HELP.

I AM MOVING TO THE GOLD COAST IN 2 1/2 WEEKS.

I AM NOW IN THE PROCESS OF PACKAGING AND MOVING THINGS.



I AM NEEDING TO KNOW HOW TO GET MY COCKIE FROM

GEELONG TO GOLD COAST.



ALSO HOW MUCH WOULD IT COST?

IS THERE A BETTER AIRLINE OR DELIVERY SYSTEM I SHOULD USE.

I AM WILLING TO DRIVE HIM THERE.

HE IS FULLY TAME BUT I DON'T THINK HE WILL LIKE THE RIDE



I SOLD ALL MY OTHER BIRDS AS THEY ARE ALL MY AVIARY BIRDS. BUT JANE MEANS THE MOST TO ME.

MY 8 MONTH OLD SULPHUR CRESTED COCKATOO (JANE)





THANKS SO MUCH GUYS

Airlines will fly birds - I think both Qanta sand Virgin do but you would have to call them to find out - they would need the bird to be in an approved transport box, again they would supply details.  You would need someone to take th ebird to the airport in Melbourne and collect it in Brisbane (I don't think they would fly birds into Gold Coast).   Ideally you would meet the plane in Brisbane so you would be the one saving the bird after the trip.

Personally I would prefer to drive with the bird if that is possible.  Most birds enjoy flying and you could make a couple of short drives for an hour or two so the bird becomes used to being in a car.  It would very likely be less traumatic for the bird. Of course that means having a car big enough to take a cage big enough for the bird to be in for 2 or 3 days, and the other problem might be overnight accommodation since motels tend not to like birds in their rooms., so the cage and bird would probably need to be in the car overnight.  Perhaps caravan parks might be a better chance in one of their cabins?

cheers,

Mike
