You can put plenty of food and water in the cage and leave them alone rather then stressing them out for a 6-7 hour round trip drive.
I have left mine up to a week and they were fine.
I'm going to the beach for 3 days and I can't leave my parakeet behind. What's the best way to have him in the car so he won't be stressed out. It's a 3 hour drive. He's not really scared of anything he always chased the dogs around and they run and hide.
