SRSeedBurners Posted February 28 Posted February 28 I am looking (for two years) for the Kings Cages aluminum travel cages that were discontinued by KingsCages during the pandemic. I have the medium one that we use as Huey's sleep cage since the big baby cannot sleep by himself (with the other birdies) in the aviary. He has to be next to momma otherwise he chews his feet. I have also moved Greycie into the bedroom on my side as she has night panics. It's terrifying to hear her thrashing around in her big cage and I'm sure one day I will lose her, so she now sleeps on a perch next to us. The problem now is, she has figured out how to flop into the bed in the middle of the night, sometimes I notice and put her back, sometimes I wake up with a Grey sleeping on my forehead. This is too dangerous so we are looking for a sleep cage for her. Below is what I'm after. I have had a CL and Farcebook MarketPlace watch for a couple of years and a few have popped up. Either they are too far away and won't ship or the one local I tried to snag got sold out from under me before I could get there. Let me know if you know anyone looking to sell!

Talon Posted February 28 Posted February 28 Oh my! I have one of my greys in my bedroom at night. She suffered from night terrors & would end up falling onto the bottom of her cage during the night. I put a thick folded towel on the bottom to soften her fall and a nigh light next to her cage with her covering open on the sides so she can see during the night. That seems to have helped her get thru the night with no episodes. I will search for you on my marketplace & if ZI find one, I would be happy to get it & send it to you. Would you want a travel cage for him at night? Or is that too small? 1
Talon Posted February 28 Posted February 28 At quick search, I found this , is this something you are looking for? King’s Cage ALUMINUM Travel Bird Cage Blue Lightweight 14 x 12 x 15 LIKE NEW VERY NICE BARELY USED $225 · In stock 1
SRSeedBurners Posted February 28 Author Posted February 28 Talon, where did you find that? That might be the smallest version they used to make. 1
neoow Posted February 28 Posted February 28 Sorry, I can't help as I'm on the wrong side of the pond. Didn't realise that line of travel cages has been discontinued though. It's a shame, I have the medium sized one for Alfie for when I take him out and it's a brilliant cage. 1
SRSeedBurners Posted February 28 Author Posted February 28 You must be outside my 500 mile max marketplace search limit. I check the measurements, that's the small one. Not sure I would sleep a Grey in that one. Good for trip to the car/vet etc! 1
Talon Posted February 28 Posted February 28 Aww.. okay. Oops, I never even looked at how small it was LOL Are you set on a kings? Just curios, why not a different brand? 1
SRSeedBurners Posted February 28 Author Posted February 28 I'd definitely look at an alternative. I used to have one of the Pervue steel carriers and it was so damn heavy I scrapped it for steel when I found these aluminum carriers. Got any ideas? 2
Timbersmom Posted February 28 Posted February 28 Wow, I had no idea they weren't making them anymore! That is Timber's full time cage (per vet) since he is not considered handicapped. I'd better take better care of it. I'll keep my eyes open. 1
Talon Posted February 28 Posted February 28 Wow, I just saw the prices, they are expensive! Is this what you are looking for? Or too small? Kings Cages Aluminium Parrot Travel - All Parrots Fertile Eggs 1
SRSeedBurners Posted February 28 Author Posted February 28 That is the cage. THat page is either a scam or severly out of date. Check out the delivery date: 2020/08/28. THat date isn't written the way we write dates here in 'merica so it looks very fishy to me. 1
Talon Posted February 28 Posted February 28 OK, I was just seeing if I had it right! I will keep on the lookout near me! 1
Greytness Posted March 1 Posted March 1 (edited) Chewys has some travel cages that might work for you. Amazon has some comparable cages as well. I also saw this one: https://www.parrotsrus.net/store/TRAVEL-CARRIER-for-Small-and-Medium-Birds-By-Prevue-Pet-p537471600?gad_source=1 Edited March 1 by Greytness 1
SRSeedBurners Posted March 3 Author Posted March 3 Thanks Greytness. I had one of those Prevue carriers before I discovered the Kings Cages. It got scrapped, way too heavy. I'm hoping I don't have to resort to one of those again. 1
Greytness Posted April 25 Posted April 25 Did you ever find one? Someone on another forum mentioned finding one on Marketplace. Not sure if you saw her post or not. 1
SRSeedBurners Posted April 28 Author Posted April 28 (edited) Never found one. I did post on Avian Avenue - twice! Is that the post you are referring to? edit: nm, I see what you are talking about. That's a full size cage. I need the carrier, much smaller. Edited April 28 by SRSeedBurners 1
SRSeedBurners Posted April 30 Author Posted April 30 Isn't this weird: I have been searching for these cages at least two years. In all that time I have never managed to get my hands on one. They're always too far away and won't ship or in once case the close one sold within minutes before I could get there. Some of you all may remember my post in 2019 about my long lost Odie bird who has lived with my aunt in New Mexico for the last 30 years. Well, in two days, I am heading to New Mexico to pickup my Odie since my aunt died and she specifically wanted and willed Odie back to me. Last night a cage popped up 20 miles from me and that's what is going to New Mexico to get my Odie. I have a hard time believing in coincidences when things this weird just happen. 2
Greytness Posted April 30 Posted April 30 I don't believe in coincidences, either. I do recall you talking about Odie, but have forgotten what species of parrot he is. Can't wait to hear about your boy. And congrats on FINALLY locating that travel cage! Perserverence definitely paid off. Nicely done! 1
SRSeedBurners Posted May 1 Author Posted May 1 Greytness - Odie is an African Grey from my teens/early 20s. I'll probably update that thread when we get back. 1
Greytness Posted May 1 Posted May 1 Looking forward to it! I love that he's coming back home to you. So cool! 1
neoow Posted May 1 Posted May 1 I remember your previous post about Odie and I'm thrilled that he is making his way back to you. Sometimes things just have a funny way of falling into place just when we need them to. Would love to see an update when you're all back home safe and settled. 1
Timbersmom Posted May 2 Posted May 2 Wow, what a reunion! So glad you are getting Odie, and glad you found the cage.
Greytness Posted May 2 Posted May 2 Just don't let Greycie know that Odie will be testing out her new sleep cage before she will. 1
