You can't even ship animals as baggage anymore. I'm not sure if the Feds or Humane Society, or maybe both, ganged up on Amtrak and made them cease carrying animals. On today's trains it would probably be almost impossible with the lack of baggage cars. I wouldn't want my animal suffocating in a coach baggage compartment. Like OBS Gone Freight says, If you love the animal that much put him/her in the doggie wagon and drive on.
But Mr Conductor its a BIRD not an ANIMAL!!! :blink:

Well you've completely lost me on this one. IF it's not an animal just what is a bird? (and please don't say it's "just" a bird)
<_< I think you missed the humorous sarcasm in that statement

Maybe you can get away with it if you can train the parrot to sit very,
very still, and can get the conductor to believe it's a dead parrot? "Oh, no, Mr. Conductor. He's not a parrot, he's an
ex-parrot! 'e's a stiff! Bereft of life, 'e rests in peace! If 'e weren't nailed to his perch, 'e'd be pushing up the daisies!"
Of course, at this point you're in big trouble if the parrot suddenly wakes up and says "Oh, no, I'm just pinin' for the fjords..."
