Bird Carrier Travel Cage – 304 Stainless Steel Portable Folding Bird Travel Cage with Parrot Feeder Cups & Standing Perch for Smaller Birds Conures Lovebird Cockatiel Parakeets…

For years I have been using a much larger cage to take my parrot to have his wings, nails and beak trimmed. It was frankly too heavy and awkward, and became a real pain in the a– to get it in and out of the car. After reviewing a bazillion different travel cages – mostly what I would call containers and not cages… I chose this one. I was very skeptical if it would be large enough to fit my Red Lord Amazon parrot – or if he was going to totally freak out when put inside it. I chose this one because it is an actual “cage”, and not a container – which I thought would make him feel trapped in a box. His “home” is in a large California cage with plenty of room. The picture of a bird inside the cage, used in this product’s ad…. is absolute CRAP. It is superimposed and not to scale at all. I had to go strictly by the dimensions listed. Luckily, it ended up being large enough for my parrot. I still have to “place” him into the cage, but he calmly walks out of it to go back into his main cage after returning home. I think with time, he will get into it on his own. He hasn’t freaked out being inside it, which was my big worry. I’m pretty certain that is because it is still a cage, which he is used to, and not a closed-in container of some sort with plastic sides. The cage is well made, simple to put up (simply raise up the attached together sides and click into place), has a plastic tray that is very easy to pull in and out to put paper on. While nice – I wont be using the sturdy bag that comes with it, nor the perch or containers. It’s strictly for periodic trips to the groomer and back. I don’t plan on folding it up to store it inbetween trips. The door simply unhooks from the top of the cage and leans down to be open. It is very light and has totally solved my problem with using the larger, heavier cage from before. I’ve attached some photos so you can have an accurate perspective of how large the cage is. I’m very happy with this purchase! I only wish I had purchased it way sooner!
