What size Pack-O-Bird do you own? M or the special "African Grey"

[Michellec]

We have been looking at these for several weeks. Taking Nala to and from work in her sleep cage (kings) is bulky and I have to have someone else carry her in it due to the bulk/weight.

 

We need something more geared toward our active lifestyle that Nala is a part of. We love taking her with us!

 

For those of you who have this carrier, do we really need the more expensive special African Grey model or just the size M with the upgrade to stainless mesh?

 

Nala is a CAG and is 8 months. Last weight (as of six days ago) is 361 g. And I'm not sure how much bigger she will get. (?)

 

Thanks for your help.

When I was ordering, I called and talked to the pack-o-bird people. They said that even though I have a small TAG I needed to get the "African Grey" one. Maybe a sales tactic, but they convinced me!

Did you add the fleece cover? If so, is it a good thick fleece?

 

We have been leaning toward the one for greys.

 

I'm jot sure how much larger Nala will get. At 8 months she seems to have more growth left??

I have the African Grey size with stainless steel mesh. Gracie doesn't like it, so I use a larger travel cage to transport her. Since I'm not using my Pak-O-Bird, I could send it to you. No cost to you. I just want it to be used for the benefit of a grey. Send me a private message if you would like it. It is in mint condition--only used twice.

Wow, Jeff, that is a very kind offer! No I didn't get the fleece cover so don't know about that.

I have the African Grey Pak-O-Bird. It is roomy and easy to take anywhere. My husband and I love to go to Art Shows ... and Jake is always with us. It keeps him up high and close to us so he loves it, too. As for weight, Jake is 19 mos old and is still growing. Not sure if that is normal or not. He was around 360 grams when we got him (5+ mos. old) and he now averages 420 grams after the morning poo. We just got a baby male SI Eclectus who is 300 grams. Quite a difference in weight, but Max is just about the same length as Jake is, and fits very well into Jake's Pak-O-Bird, so I will probably get the same one for Max next year (We live in Wisconsin so it's too cold for outings anymore this year.) We really love the Pak-O-Bird for ease of use ... ability to just strap into the car and go ... and then throw the strap over your shoulder and go about your day. What a wonderful offer from JeffNOK! Tough to pass on that generosity!!! (I do not have the fleece cover either.) Good luck!

Double posted in my excitement.

Jeff, what an amazing blessing for us! Will PM. What a great start to the day! Michelle

Here she is in her new carrier! Thank you Jeff for your generosity! The carrier is great and Nala took to it on the first try. (After the carrier sat on the table near her cage for a few days)

Nice going! Timber still fights going in his, even after all sorts of maneuvers getting him "used" to it. Still, when I need to take him out we manage, and I'm hoping that as time passes he will like it more.

Looks like a happy grey in her Pak-o-birdy. Bet she puts it to good use.

I think I'm going to get one of these
