I have always read that you should be very careful with your cockatiels lungs . It is not only a matter of avoiding cold drafts which is something you must do at all times all year round , but looking after their respiratory system as a whole . OK,you are in Florida I know its not that bad there in the winter,but just remember the huge struggle Rascal s system has just overcome.He is still in the recovery period,and keeping him in a cold environment ,I dont know,i would think its putting a bit of more stress on him again,uneccessarily . I agree with its better to be safe than sorry , although the best personadvise you,Juliet will be the Vet , of course . Hugs and kisses from sunny Brazil X x Teresa

That's true, good point. I leave for my 7 day trip in 2 weeks. I'm going to have him kept in the incubator for this trip just to be safe. For future trips I will investigate on how to keep him in the cage at the vets instead.... but for now I think the incubator is the safest route.

Plus, his liver still needs to be retested... once that's cleared it will all be better

Poor Lil' Rascal... back into the incubator prison you go hehe. As long as he has stuff to eat in there and toys... it'll be ok... even though he hates it in there lol
