traveling with birds

[loyallyroyal]

That article made it sound like such a difficult thing to do!
What if they weren't with someone who spoke spanish, they may have just killed her birds ? That article made me sad to read...

It made me mad the US wouldnt let her back in, an american citizen, talk about a violation of the declaration of human rights

Everyone has the right to leave any country, including his own, and to return to his country

Thanks, after reading all the permit information I don't feel too bad about that .... but I'm still really worried about the plane trip. Has anyone flown on a long international flight with their birds? Can we be sure the cargo hold is actually safe?
