I left my house in New Mexico Sept 12th. I have 4 birds, i dog and my wife traveling with me. By the time I get back to New Mexico {Nov 6th}, my birds will have spent 19 full days in the trailer and the rest of the time they were in the mews set up in Pa. As soon as I get back to NM, then its time to start getting ready for NAFA. Good thing my birds trailer well.
