Hello All, We will be travelling around with 2 Jack Russells, 1 cat and 1 budgie. Can anyone tell us how the bird and cage get on in the van and how do you stop all the food and water from going everywhere?

much the same as travelling with the dragon, plenty of cleanups, and rest stops !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes they do make things exacary for this porpoise.... Can't find the link but a mate travels with a galah (no his wife is the one not in a cage) and he got a vynl elastcised bizzo that slips over the bottom of the cage and comes halfway up the side. Try a Google search for "Aviaryist supplies" or similar or check out a pet shop....

Thankyou for your swift replies. We will take a look at the pet shops and it all shall become clear.

And the results of this were????

Sorry Basil,
We have left the budgie at a friends place until the new van arrives in about two weeks. He is quite happy with the arrangements as he is with other birds near him.
 The two dogs and the cat have become used to living in the 15' poptop and all looks good for the future events.
Sorry for not replying earlier as things have been in a muddle, with selling up the house and getting rid of all the furniture etc.
We have purchased an elastic cover to collect the spillages and all will be well. regards, Ablett.

Well Basil, here is the new van and new 4x4 (in the avatar)and we are ecstatic with the way it tows. The pets love the extra space as well. Regards, Ablett
