Make the carrier an ordinary object
Secure the door open and reward looking at or approaching the entrance. Never push the bird inside.
- Secure the open door
- Reward near the entrance
- Do not close it on the first voluntary entry
Practice closing and moving separately
Start with one second of a closed door, then lifting, a few steps indoors, and only then a short drive. Return to the previous calm step after panic.
Prepare clinic travel items
Use a non-slip base, low stable perch, light cover, and recent records. Secure the carrier away from sun and direct air-conditioning.
Do not delay emergencies for training
For breathing difficulty, ongoing bleeding, seizures, or suspected poisoning, call the clinic and follow transport instructions immediately.
