travel on a motorcycle

by Frank Sawyer
(Round Rock Texas)

I have a blue fronted Amazon named Molly.

Me and my wife travel a lot on our Harley Ultra Classic... it is a large bike with a trunk on back.

We usually leave Molly home and My wifes son takes care of Her while we are gone... no more than 5 or so days ever.

I want to take her with us... I want to bring her on the bike with us.

I've thought of ways to take her in a Travel Cage... but I'm scared the wind... or noise... or if it's hot out... it would harm her.

Any ideals?

Bird traveling on a motercycle
by: Tracie

Please try to find a friend or neighbor to watch your bird when you are on trips. Also, avian vets, many breeders and some individually owned bird stores will board birds.

When we leave town, if we don't have someone to stay with our pets, we board them. It is expensive, but it is a kindness to them. We just budget the boarding in with the trip and don't take trips until we can afford it all.

I'm the original poster

The problem I'm going to have is that My wife's son which usually watches Molly while we are gone... will be moving out soon... and I won't have anyone to watch her.
I can't leave her alone for 3 or 4 days in a row.

I don't have anyone else to watch her.

For the sake of a second comment, I totally agree with Tracie. This would be putting your bird's life in danger when there is NO need to do so. You all enjoy your bike rides and let your bird stay home and enjoy staying safe at home.

Taking bird on motorcycle
by: Tracie

That is sweet that you want to take her with you, but I think it is best for the bird to stay behind.

The vibration would NOT be good for her and, as you said, the wind and temperature changes would be difficult to regulate. If you got in an accident, there would be no way to protect the bird either. I would think it might be terrifying for her to ride at high speed along with the vibration and noise.
