2 - SMALL BIRDS
These are very sensitive animals. This kind of animal is very
susceptible to high and low temperatures. It may be necessary to avoid
flights at high temperatures during the day and schedule the shipment
to night flights. In case of low temperatures during cruise flight,
depending on the flight extension, it might be necessary to limit the
maximum flight altitude in order to reduce the temperature drop in the
baggage compartment. The containers should be placed at some
distance from the compartment floor, avoiding the contact with low
temperatures coming from the area below the floor.
The limitations for the maximum load of these animals are stated in the
table 2, as follows.
