Hey everyone,
Well life is weird, I ended up quitting my job outside of Portland and came back to Portland, and now that I am back home, we received some news that my husband may have the option to work in Italy, if we so choose to relocate there. If we do make the choice, Chance loves pasta so I think she would love Italy and the nice weather
What comes to mind is how to get Chance to make the trip across the pond, because it's not a simple process. Fortunately you can take your pet in a crate as carry on (because no way would I be OK with any other alternative). But, from what I understand after talking with our avian vet, Chance needs to go through some tests for papers as an exotic animal, to ensure she is healthy and can enter another country. At this moment I can't remember the process entirely but I know it can take time. For one Avian certification, it can take about 6 months, from what I remember. I will probably need to discuss this with my Avian vet more (who is great) while looking into Italy's requirements.
Does anyone have any information about this? Has experienced this? Also, how stressed would Chance be on a plane? I don't particularly like flying myself but the bigger planes are much more comfortable.
Michael, can you weigh in on how your birds feel on a plane while you are flying? Do they notice turbulence? I know they're birds are are natural pilots but still curious
Thanks!
