I'm encouraged at least by the thoughtful discussion! Thanks to butterfinger for sharing the official wordage. I'm interested in whether or not you found if an airline can require birds brought on-board to be caged? And (whew!) relieved that nobody can travel with a loose snake - yet. Regarding health issues, the first comment on our story by the startled relatives we were traveling to visit was "What about bird flu?" It's insane to force someone to be confined for hours next to a pig, a bird, or anything else implicated in spreading illnesses.
