Evacuating with Birds

Very helpful , interesting and well written , and useful information.

Great information!

Thank you so much for writing about this. I'm in Florida and even though we have an environment that could put us in danger of a forest fire, our biggest concern for evacuation would be from hurricanes. I'm new to having ducks and had not thought about this particular what-if. I appreciate you giving a list of things I will need to remember to take with me and things I will need to purchase in order to be prepared for temporary housing for my babies. The only addition to this article could be off the top of my head would be that once you found out that Red Cross eventually made arrangements to accommodate poultry, what was their requirements for being able to take in people's birds? Not that I personally would choose this option but for the sake of, well, what-if it was my ONLY option.

Again thank you for writing this as it given me things to think about of what I need to have ready and things I still need to get, you know, just in case.

A horrible thing to contemplate but valuable reading for anyone who might face any form of natural disaster. Lessons well learned and passed on out of terrible experience.

Very well written and heartfelt.

As someone who also lives in a dry pine forest and had to suddenly evacuate with no plans regarding poultry, this article is very well written and informative, containing useful info for people as well as the animals in their care.
