Traveling

[Leslie Cole]

Looking for ideas on what people use when traveling with their bird. Going to see family for thanksgiving and want to take our Ty with us. About a 4 hour drive and spending 1-2 nights. Not sure if there is a travel cage that works for in the car and as a cage for while we are there too. Something that can fit in the backseat of our truck but big enough to be in while there too.

We currently use a modified cat carrier for our conure. It doesn't work well for an overnight cage. If we had to spend the night somewhere, I would probably look into the cage we previously used for our TAG (both car travel and overnights) -

I’ve also used this for my CAG in the car and as a short weekend cage. I like it and it’s spacious enough for a short weekend.

Now I keep one at my dad’s house and use my Pak-O-Bird carrier in the car.

Not sure if there are special space considerations for your bird bc of tail length.

Good luck.

Yeah - he has a long tail so I want something that will be roomy for him

There are lots of sizes of the wire cages. My GW sleeps in a wire cage.

Well I ended up getting this so I can also use it as a bedtime cage.
