Apologies if this is a ridiculous suggestion.

Alternatively, play it some relaxing music e.g. The Birdie Song (I don't apologise for that one)

Good luck.

So I was wondering if anyone knew about airlines that allow parrots in the cabin. Bear in mind he is a very small parrot bread about the size of a cockatiel, so would easily fit under a seat in a plane.

Thanks for any advice!

P.S.: I have no intention on leaving him behind, so please do not suggest this!

It would have to pass through security and maybe pass a pollygraph. If it was a duck at least you could put it in pastry and carry it with you.
