Hi all,

Just getting aquatinted with this forum. We, wife & I are still looking for the dream van to hit the road with, one that we can keep a cage of ****atiels with us in (like on a bench that would be our office). My question is...Are birds classed as pets at most caravan parks? To me they are a pet, but pet owners and most people just refer to cats & dogs as pets. Any help would really be appreciated.

If any of you have traveled with birds I'd love to know.

Regards

John

We have been traveling for 3 years with our two ****atiels with no hassels at all. They are not classed as pets as they are no diff to any other bird hanging around a park. They are also caged unless out inside the van so not pooing all over a park and barking. You do not need permits to have ****atiels. Ours have their big cage in the rig or outside and a smaller travel one they have in the truck. Cats also have never counted in parks as long as they dont leave your van. Have seen heaps of them in parks. Its main,y dogs parks are concerned about. Whats contained in your van doesnt seem to count we have found.

Thanks to you all for your replies. Much appreciated

Regards

John

 I don't use caravan parks so defer to you experience there re cats. But believe me cats are NOT welcome in national parks any more than dogs.  BUT, like you I see no harm as long as the animal doesn't leave your van in the park, and I have taken my mini greyhounds driving thru national parks with no problems.  Far as I can see a road is a road, and I can take my dogs in the van down any road.  If I ever get stopped I'll let everyone know.

I can't imagine anyone would object to birds, except maybe if they are feral pigeons
