Thank you Old-Bisket. Your info is most helpful. I have traveled all over Ohio with the monkey, pass quickly through Kentucky, am free to travel in Tn. for up to 3 weeks with him. Talking to the office in Kentucky- --for a $25 permit-I can transport him through their state but can stay for no longer than 98 hours. Go figure that one out. It's laws like these that are driving me nuts. As for the birds--as long as their papers are up to date most states are cool. Quaker parrots are banned in a lot of states but mine are a African grey and a sun conure so I'm ok there. Just want to be on the up and up and legal while traveling with my little gang. Thanks to all for your help and input.
