Big collapsable travel cage?

[MnGuy]

Are there any good, medium-to-large collapsable travel cages?

I have the typical small-sized collapsable travel cage. I'm looking for something that's bigger for weekend trips -- maybe something like 20" wide and deep by 20/24" tall. I'm looking for something that would be more comfortable than a common travel cage.

I have this one. It's roomy for vacations but really heavy.

yes, I had one of those and the operative words are "really heavy"! Hated it, used it as a low table instead.
The King's aluminum travel ones are great if you can find a used one, I'm not sure if new ones exist.
You might want to look at folding metal dog crates but I don't know the wire gauge and spacing or if it is powder coated.

I couldn't afford a kings when they were manufactured and now I can't find one. I'm still looking O.O

Absolutely. The manufacturer lists them as weighing 22lbs.

You are correct about them being amazing. I still regret not having picked one up. Unfortunately, King's went out years ago, and the aluminum carriers were discontinued well before that. Occasionally I see a used one pop up, but almost always the small sized ones. Even those typically have a price tag that makes my head spin when I think of it having been used previously.

I love their backpacks but I’m worried my grey would find a way out of this after 24-48 hours.

 

[merlinsmom13]

Merlin has already beaked out of a similar design. I remember being so excited to find one. It took several hours to destroy it...

Depending on bar spacing and the size of the bird, I've used a collapsible dog crate before. This is for a chill bird who doesn't mind hands in her cage.

Yes! This one! I saw this on Celltei awhile ago and couldn't find it again to recommend.
I was sad because someday I am going to get one. Maybe I'll get an income tax refund or something.
Perfect for if I am displaced by wildfire stuff again.
Gonna bookmark the dang thing this time.

I actually just use a traditional style dog crate that I drilled a perch into. It works quite well.
