Bird To Go Please :)

[Elvenking]

So I am looking for the community's recommendations for good travel cages. While he is refusing his harness, I still want him to see the world and maybe socialize him a bit more. So help me determine the best mode of transportation for my baby Issac. He will thank you for it. Cheers

I will be interested in the input from others on this thread too. We are going to see my granddaughter at the end of this month, and it will be about a 12 hour car ride each way. We want to take Brutus with us, rather than leave him home with a pet sitter. He is so attached to me that I don't want to leave him alone for 4 days. I won't enjoy the trip, and I'm sure Brutus would be upset as well. We have time to get a nice travel cage before we go.

Im using PAk o Bird, for travelling back and forth in the car. It is also a back pack you can take hikes with. I have been waiting for a nice weather day to do this and see if he likes it. It is very lightweight and you can carry it easily in one hand.

The Pak O Bird's look nice. Really nice. However, a bit expensive...looks like i am looking at about 239.00 to get a good sized one. I will consider it. But will also entertain lower cost solutions as well.

In your case, the only way to go is with a small cage...I will post a example later.. Jayd

I have a travel cage like this that I use when I go to my daughter's for a weekend. It's great because it is large enough so my grey can spread her wings and climb around easily.

Thank you all for the links and suggestions. I do like to collapseable cages as they store easy as well as provide ample space. And, they are under 100 bucks which is also nice. I will most likely start with something like that as I am not sure I want to drop 250 bucks on a back carrier.

 

Thank you JayD for the link regarding various cage types, very informative

Jayd gave GreYt advice and links.

 

We have the Pak-o-Bird for short trips around here and we have a larger travel cage as well for long trips and it works well as a sleep cage when we are out of town somewhere.

A small travel cage deffinitly, a cheap and practical way, and is ideal for spending the weekend visiting a friend, also works well in the car, I fasten the seatbelt around it to make sure Kookie is secure in place while I drive.

[Elvenking]

Yeah...it looks like the more economic travel cages are going to work for me, probably a collapseable one. I just want to get him out and take him to different locations to see other people. And you can be sure I will fasten his seat belt.

 

LOL...look at Issac....."Oh...get my good side"

I have the same one that Janet gave the link for, it is collapsible and has proved to be very useful and it is relatively inexpensive compared to some others.

[Elvenking]

Gonna order one of the collapseable ones tomorrow. My baby is gonna get around.
