Hello all,

Hope you're all ok I just wanted to know if there was any limit to the amount of travel a bird has to do to get to their safehouse/forever home? The reason I ask is that some birds that I would be interested in applying for are in different areas - for example I'm North London and they're in the southwest i.e. Plymouth! I haven't been checked (am going to nudge the ACO again about being checked out even for safehousing!) though I appreciate it's the run up to christmas I would happily trek 4/5 hours for bird as I am Somerset born and bred any way and would have a stop off Just wanted to know, to reduce stress whether there is a travel limit for BL birds?

I know my nanday loves getting in the car but appreciate some birds might find it very stressful. Thanks!

Aww thanks! Although it may not be feasible at the moment (currently live in a small flat though it doesn't bother me!) but I would be interested in getting more involved with BL!

you could adopt a small birdie,space is not the most important thing for them lots of love and attention is

If by that you mean a little bird takes up less room, then of course that's absolutely right but little birds needs are exactly the same as the bigger boys and girls and they need space too.

Yeah I'm sure that's what he means!

My conure has free run of the flat and takes full advantage either crash landing on my head or settling down nicely for a snuggle depending on the mood so both are definitely important! Thanks for the input people

i have two conures that can be loud at certain times but nothing the neighbours could complain about......or they just dont say anything lol
