Greetings Earthlings! I travel with a couple birds too - 2 sun conures. My dear Sunny, who I was fortunate enough to have for 28 years recently passed away. She traveled with us all over the country, camping from coast to coast several times. She loved camping more than we do. I don't think I will ever get over her loss.

What kinds of parrots do you have? We kept Sunny fully fledged so she could fly anywhere she liked and could get herself out of trouble if need be, though we were very protective of her and wary of raptors. It's important to have a bird who always comes when called if you are going to let them fly free. People would always ask, "Aren't you afraid she will fly away?" We would reply, "If you had a dog for over 20 years would you be afraid it would run off one day?" People who are not owned by birds don't understand how smart, loyal and how rich and varied their personalities are. How about you guys? Do you fly your birds? We've got a little under 5 yrs before we head out full-time, in a much more modest rig than your sweet mansion on wheels. Glad to have you here.

Here's our dear departed Sunny doing her favorite activity, hiking the forest. She later had to bathe in the ice cold stream below.

Here's little Skittles. She's the offspring of a red factor, so will have lots more red/orange than Sunny had once she loses her baby feathers:

And here's Baby, a rescue bird with lots of yellow.

We actually have 3 feathered kids that travel with us.  Rosco our Africaan Grey is 19 years old and loves to be his daddies co-pilot when he is driving.  We adopted him at 3 months so he haso been with us a long time.  Our other two babies are rescues.  Tango is a sun conure and is missing one foot.  She Was originally my mothers baby and became ours fulltime when mom passed.  We are guessing she is around 12 years old.  She does not like men as I think she was abused by one.  So she tolerates Ed, but is basically my baby.  Our youngest is a monk parrot and also a rescue baby.  She is a smart little one and loves to play.   They love road trips and travel so well.  We do have them clipped, but are out pretty much whenever we are in the RV.  They will fly around the RV.  We took what would have been the sleeper cabin in the rv and made it into their bedroom.  They are very spoiled.  

If I can figure out how to add pictures I will add some of our babies.  Maybe one of these days we will meet up with you and we can exchange stories of how our feathered ones boss us around.
