Akinerri Birds Travel Carrier, Transparent Breathable Cage for Small Parrots, Include Perch and Bottom Tray

I really like this carrier, although I was scratching my head in how to open it up. It is well ventilated. It comes with a nice perch but I did not use it, as I was picking up a 4 week old baby burrowing owl. The carrier sat nice in the front seat on passenger side and I seat belted it in. Hootie watched me the three hour trip home. I am a licensed falconer and am able to have hawks, owls, and falcons. Big birds might not fit in this carrier, particularly if you leave the perch in. The parrots like the one in Pirates of the Caribbean would fit. The sides where the mesh screens are are protected from claws. A Macaw might be too tall. The carrier comes with a covering. My little Owl did not need it. He preferred to watch me for three hours. Lols. Other carriers I looked at did not have the clear protected covering to protect the mesh screening.

Mine came with a black bag and with a black fitted cover, which has an opening for the handle and a velcro 'door'.Seems sturdy and well put together. Good size for taking 2 budgies to the vet. Hopefully the budgies will like it too!

I am absolutely amazed at the quality of this carrier being for how cheap it was. I am happy with the purchase and my Rainbow Lorikeet really loves it too. Fast delivery and I just got it in time for Christmas 🎄

It arrived really fast, and easy to set up and start using! I was very excited for it as it was an improvement from the previous bag I had.Great points:1) Super breathable which is really important when it gets hot here2) Additional perch at the door means bird can walk in by herself easily, but because it is lower than the main perch, walking out is difficult, so it reduces the risk of her escaping3) Closing the door is easy and doesn't threaten to spook my bird like my previous carrier (which was the backpack kind with a huge plastic door).4) Actually very sturdy (I lost my balance while walking on uneven ground and it supported me while keeping birdie safe when I fell) yet compact and foldable.5) Super light (which can also be a drawback, given it shakes more) and the bottom tray is very convenient.6) Everything inside is waterproof and not very cloth-y so it's super easy to clean, just a wipe7) Easy to open the door and stick your hand in in case you need to adjust something, with low risk of the bird being able to get out.8) Square shape makes it convenient and not bulkySome drawbacks with this bag:1) Since everything is quite soft, my bird tends to bite the frame, mesh or even the soft plastic window. She doesn't do it very often as usually she is distracted by the outdoors and I try to discourage it, but I wouldn't be able to leave her unmonitored as I think it's possible she can bite a hole out. Not a huge problem since usually she will be monitored while going out, but it wouldn't be reliable on longer outings where we may need to leave her alone for awhile.2) Mentioned in other reviews too, but there's really nowhere to hang toys inside. My workaround is to use a foraging ball that can rest on the perches, but having just one little loop on the corner or something would be great.3) My bird was actually super scared of going in, not really a drawback but just a caution in case your birdie is as scaredy-bird as mine since it's a dark covered space. I needed awhile to get her used to it, but even after 2 outings, she's still a little suspicious of going in. She's completely chill once she's inside though, so it's a little confusing.4) The bottom tray is convenient but difficult to take out since it's wider than the door and blocked by the perches if you want to take it out without taking out the perches. I guess I'm supposed to take the perches out first.5) This is a tall cage so I was hoping it would be good for my ringneck that has a long tail, but the perch is actually lower than I thought so it's not high enough for my ringneck's tail. Might need to put a rope perch or something so she can get a higher point. More of a breed specific drawback, but can workaround6) You can't put your own perches in, the holes for the original perches are too small. Might be possible to grind it open bigger or something, but I haven't tried and that would make the original perches unusable. Not sure why the original perches couldn't be like normal ones in a cage, maybe for sturdiness or something7) Walking with it is abit awkward, but well I think any shoulder carriers will be like that.Overall, a great carrier that does what it's meant to do, I love it and I have no regrets getting this over other kinds in the market. Most of the drawbacks have a workaround, so it's not a problem to me except the "biteability" of the cage, but that's a trade-off for a breathable bag.

Sturdy, and space saving?! Perfect for outings with my flock! It also folds away!
