Light-weight and portable, bird travel cages offer an easy method for ferrying your feathered friends. Whether to the vet or a new home, bird travel cages come in several sizes convenient for your particular bird species.
A wide selection of materials
Like birds themselves, bird travel cages come in several styles made from several materials. Many popular bird travel cages are made from compactable nylon and mesh materials. Stow away in your pocket until needed, then unfold to reveal a cage suitable for your bird. Another popular material used in bird travel cages is acrylic plastic. Some make nice table cages in any condition, providing amenities such as feeders or perches. Collapsible wire versions also make excellent bird travel cages. Storage is convenient and set up is quick with these models.
A variety of uses
As with any pet carrier, use your discretion when deciding which bird travel cages are appropriate for the trips you are taking. For example, while mesh bird travel cages might be great for trips to the vet, these soft cages would not be suitable for pet compartments during air travel (check with your airline to see if they allow birds in the cabin and under what restrictions). Likewise, heavy duty bird travel cages designed for extended travel might be too much for local trips or moving to a new home. |  |
Materials and construction are important, but your bird's comfort is paramount when selecting carriers. These carriers can be a tight fit-remember, they are not permanent homes. However, if the cage is holding your bird in an awkward or bent position, consider moving up a size to larger bird travel cages. Also keep in mind that your bird might not enjoy traveling at all. Most bird travel cages come with a specially designed bird cover to slip over the top. This convenient feature makes traveling less stressful on your bird, especially on trips lasting more than one day.
