We moved from one province to another in Canada. Three days and two nights. I had the same fears for my birds...2 canaries, 1 plum head, 2 conures, Australian King, Eclectus, senegal, alexandrine, 2 Barrabands and 2 parrotlettes. As well as two dogs, 3 tame cats and 2 feral cats that we had been feeding that we trapped before we left. Cats and birds were crated...birds were on top of the cat crates. I had a lot of fresh veggies and fruits in cages, brought nutriberries and made sure they had plenty of water at night when we stopped at motels. They did so much better than I ever could have expected. I did make sure they all had rope perches shaped like an L in their crates so they wouldn't slip.birds are really more resilient than we think. The only negative is that a few of them molted a little more heavily than what was their norm. Good luck on your trip.
