Great bird cage for Green Cheek Conur. + Alaska Airline approved for bird travel!!!
The media could not be loaded. My Green Cheek Conur loves this cage. She likes to hang out in there and munch on her messy treats\food! We bought those clipon metal pots separately and she loooooves this set up. We put little bit water in one and food in other. When she gets bored in her big cage we put her in here and move her around the house in different areas so she can be next to us but not on top of us lol ( bird people will understand) Easy to clean- open zipper and shake it out outside and if needs wiping use wet soft paper towel so you don't scratch the clear surface. It's pretty sturdy. Make sure cage has good air circulation, (dont cover the holes or mesh tightly) and dont leave it in direct sun for extended periods of time. Could get toasty after longer exposure but mesh sides and holes are sufficient air circulation in normal circumstances.We actually took our bird from Hawaii to Florida (moving) in this. She was in there the whole trip for at least 6-7 hours at a time. One time i sneaked my hand in there to put more paper towel over her mess on the bottom but don't let the bird out!!! We flew Alaska Air twice with her and they approved. Just let them know you gonna have a bird upon reservation of tickets. Its gonna be $100 extra to fly with pet in cabin. She was right in the cabin with us and mostly was sleeping and eating her food. It fit perfectly by the feet on take off and after sometimes she was on my tray table, hanging out in her cage and making people smile. Happy birdy! We partiallycovered her because of significant air circulation in airplane. Everyone was amazed how cool the cage was and that bird was on the plane lol Be prepared to be checked for explosives when you go thru security check but we didn't even have to take her out though. Easy!Also on other note if you take the bird out and about in this cage, make sure you kind of cover one end or top of it ( to give bird some protective security) because it's just too overwhelming ( we also partially covered her when traveling by air) for the bird to see everything moving by, esspecially if it's in the car with you. Overall great extra hang out space for our birdy!!!!People please be patient with removing the clear film whem you first get the cage. It comes of nicely if you don't rush and it is super clear after. See in picture. We have two of these smaller and bigger one and both had the film on sp it doesn't get scratched before you get it. Patience will pay of.

Could be a nice little carrier, but...
This little bird carrier seems to be sturdy and well made. However, I am very disappointed in the "protective film" that covers all of the see- through plastic areas. This film is literally SEWN into the carrier. It's in every corner and every seam. It's under the grommets. (see photos) And it is difficult if not impossible to remove. I left the film on the outside of the carrier, but my birds will be in it and I can't take a chance on them picking at it on the inside. So I spent a considerable amount of time trying to remove it. It requires a lot of patience and very small scissors and I still couldn't get it all. The manufacturer needs to come up with a better way to protect the plastic.The carrier also came with a perch, however the washers included are covered in what I assume is rust. Could be paint? (see photos). Fortunately, I was able to use some of my own washers.The description says it comes with "parrot feeder cups" and "tracy" (what is that?), but mine did not come with anything other than the perch and installation hardware for it.This carrier is easy to set up, (once you get the *&$% protective film removed). All you do is zip it together and install the perch. Very simple. I think it's going to be the perfect size for my budgies.Overall, I think I'll be happy with this carrier now that I have that darn film removed.Editing to say that the seller has addressed my concerns. They were very easy to work with. They stand behind their product.

Works Well
Had to take my. African Grey for an hour trip. He hates change. It was easier than I hoped to get him into the carrier. He was nervous at first. By the end of the trip he was ok. It was a good purchase

First thoughts: several goods and several bads
Note: This carrier has not yet been bird-tested. I chose it because of the shoulder strap, the see-through aspect, and the hope that it can fit under an airplane seat if I want to take my bird with me on a trip. The product meets these three main goals.Pros:1. The carrier is small enough to squeeze under most airplane seats with a little effort (this is the small version). It's about 11 inches tall, but because it's soft, it can be squished to the standard 8 inches, noting larger birds might not like this at all.2. It comes with a shoulder strap in addition to the handle. Very attractive to me as could leave my hands free for other things if needed (like carrying a drink or food while rolling luggage around in an airport).3. It's very clear and easy to see through.4. It includes a little wooden dowel post and hardware to attach it, plus three holes so you could add additional dowels for food or water bowls. You might want to swap this for a natural-wood dowel but it is OK for initial purposes or short-term use.5. The zipper seems fairly good and worked well. You have to get it to where you unzip at one end to open a flap to let the bird in. They then have to try not to be scared as you work to zip up the cage, especially if you have to pick it up a bit to finish.Cons:1. The washers they sent to attach the perch were badly rusted, with only a little silver coating still showing. They go on the outside, so it's not a complete deal-killer, but I'll be stopping by a hardware store soon and replacing them anyway.2. THE protective coating. OMG, the PROTECTIVE COATING. It is placed on the see-through part and then they glue in the hole covers and the zipper and bottom portion. This means the extremely thin plastic protective lining is firmly glued to the product, and it does not rip off nicely in some spots. I got lucky in the bulk of the areas, but it was impossible to remove by hand from around the perch-holes and from around a few other places. This left me desperately scraping around the little port-holes with a sharp-pointed pair of tweezers trying to cut off the remaining shreds, which were too small to grab with my fingers and just ripped if grabbed with tweezers. Doing so did get rid of most of the plastic but also left visible ugly small scratch marks on the permanent plastic section around the portholes. I still need to attack it one more time to make sure, as I don't want my new friend ingesting any of that lining and there's maybe still some shreds hanging off certain sections.3. The opening of the port holes is just slightly under 1 inch. This means a parakeet, parrotlet or even possibly up to a Senagal could get their head all the way out of the carrier. I consider this something of a design flaw now that I've noticed it, some birds could get their head stuck, or if you are carrying them, bash their little heads against your leg if it's ill-timed. For the moment, I've covered a portion of the holes with black electrical tape to discourage my new Senegal friend from peeking out, as she's just big enough she could get stuck. But I wish there were snaps or something else on the outside that could be used to close them up without closing them off for airflow purposes.4. The handle is glued on. There's nothing solid securing it, it's just glue. I am going to keep an eye out for weakening of the glue as I don't want to suddenly drop my bird while I'm taking her with me on a walk.5. There's a new car smell to it because it's virtually all plastic except for the strap and a few hardware pieces. I have a few weeks before it gets used, so I'll clean it off thoroughly and see if time helps normalize the odor.6. Not unexpected for such a relatively bulky item, but it doesn't hang nicely from my shoulders. If I cross-body it, the carrier hangs at a slight angle. I don't think this is going to bother the bird that much but I will need to be cautious when carrying it not to tip her over.All in all, I'm going to give it a try and rectify the issues with home-made solutions.
