Bird Carrier

I usually do not write reviews for products on Amazon, but I felt that I needed to write one here. This carrier EXCEEDS my expectations!!!!! I would not say that my green-cheeked conure "loves" it, but she definitely tolerates it more than any other carrier that I ever tried for her. She is a bit of a free spirit and does not like to be confined. However, the large window made her much more comfortable. It would be a little small for a larger bird, but it is a perfect size for a conure, cockatiel, or other smaller parrot. The perch is high enough that her tail does not drag the bottom, and there is plenty of room for her to move around. The quality of the product was outstanding. It is well-constructed and sturdy, which is important to me as I am using it to transport precious cargo. It is also lightweight, which is a plus! Really though, it is the little details that I was not even aware of when I made the purchase. The panel tie backs. The food bowl. The easily removable bottom tray. The space for the water bottle. And most importantly for me, easy ways to secure the carrier to a car seat for transport. No more throwing my arm back to prevent the tenuously strapped carrier from sliding during a turn or a hard brake when driving. It is more expensive than other carriers on the market, but I would highly recommend it to any bird lover. The quality and design were outstanding. It was worth it for the feathered member of my family.

Best carrier for my bird friend! He has plenty of room to move and plenty of air flow. I was able to quickly assemble the carrier and my bird began doing his bobbing happy dance when I placed him inside. Plenty of storage for a bag of treats or food on the go. A feeding bowl is secured in the bag. And if your bird drinks from a water bottle, there is a hook up for that as well. The carrier can be used as a backpack, has a handle to carry along your side and a removable shoulder strap. The carrier can also be hooked up to a safety belt in the vehicle. The carrier comes with a cloth storage bag for when the carrier is not in use. The carrier can transfer two conures with room to move. It is designed with mesh sides for maximum airflow and tie backs for the side flaps if you want the bird to see out of the bag. If you want your bird in total darkness for calming purposes, the sides and front have flaps that snap close. The tray provided slides in/out easily by way of a zippered slot. The carrier is made with cloth and mesh and is sturdy so the bird won’t overheat or get hurt. My bird will now be able to safely enjoy a walk with me, and safely enjoy a car ride.

We have a green cheek conure that we like to travel with to work, family, for walks outside, etc. I wanted something that would be spacious and comfortable for him, as well as well ventilated. This backpack is very well made. Its comfortable to wear. I love that it has covers that roll up or down to keep him shaded if it gets too sunny, or for car rides if he gets sick. The pouch that clips on is nice to keep his little pouches of food and treats in. He has not chewed the mesh... yet. So, so far, so good on that. But i like that the mesh is not that flimsy, and seems to be good quality. My one main complaint is that the food bowls are very difficult to get in! I cant even get one of them inside the ring at all. So, poor chap usually has to go without food/drink already in there. Which is why its nice to have the pouch, so that i can carry little food bowls in there when we stop. They are pretty deep also. Its not the worst thing, but it wish that we could at least use those while traveling. There is a strong smell when you initially get it. But, I wiped it down with vinegar and water, and let it soak in the sun for a few days, and now its fine. So make sure to give it around a week or so to air out before using it. It folds down pretty flat and has a lovely carrying case. I like that there is also a mesh pocket on the one side so that you can put stuff in. I may try to see if I can fit a drinking water bottle in there for him. I think the newer ones have a set up for that. I love that the handle is at the MIDDLE of the top of carrier, not off to the front or the back. That way, when we pick it up by the handle, the bird doesnt tip backward or forward. It has a good amount of vent holes and mesh coverage, so I feel like he is getting the air and circulation he needs, but I still woudnt use this for any longer than you need to for transport. I do have a mini fan that I can put in the side pocket if I feel he needs it. I would have loved to have seen a place to hook a toy in there for him. However, it has vent holes on the top that I can jerry rig one in there if need be. But it would have been nice to have one in there already. Overall, I definitely recommend this product. Its well made, and good value for the money. Our little guy can be transported safely without dragging a bulky, heavy cage around, which means we are able to include him in being with us a lot more .

So I ordered this since I wanted a backpack style carrier, but didn't feel like paying 250 for one. I was bit hesitant on this, since it was advertised for small birds and I have a Timneh African gray, but my fears were unfounded since this is more than large enough for him (for better sizing, see the photos above). I'll be honest, I was expecting something kinda cheap in build, but I will say I was delighted to be proved wrong. Right out of the box, everything was neatly packaged in a really good quality case. That's right, the carrier came with it's own carrying case which easily fits the carrier and all it's parts. As a little aside, the case has a little card attached with contact info for the manufacturer letting you know you can contact them for damaged, defective or missing parts, if you have any issues in setting up or just to let them know if you have ideas to improve it. I don't often see that from sellers on amazon, and it was really nice touch that left me with a good feeling about this manufacturer. Actually getting the carrier out and set up took about 10 minutes total. The directions weren't super easy to follow, but honestly you hardly need them, it's zip a few things up and slide in the tray. Again, build quality was really impressive here. The main zippers are cleverly protected on the inside from any naughty beaks ( a blessing, my bird loves zippers). The whole carrier feels really sturdy and well made. The mesh feels strong, the fabric firm, the zippers solid metal. The covers for the mesh all have solid, smooth backings. I tried it on, and as a backpack, it was actually fairly comfortable and stable, I could see myself walking around with it very easily. The side strap wasn't quite as comfortable, but I have very slim shoulders so I think that was more of the issues. Actually I think my only suggestion for improvement would be tucking the zipper for where the tray enters, and maybe adjusting the carrier so it fits better for those without broad shoulders. Other than that, an excellent product that I whole-heartedly recommend.

This bag feels more dedicated toward a long travel like a move across country. Ventilation does not seem that good and I wish they had a side pouch that could allow the addition of a optional fan for a hot day. Needless to say the quality feels good the sides that are 100% stiff/cloth are reinforced with some plywood like material for stiffness, inside is lined with what feels to be a good quality plastic offering wind resistance of course the downside is it will trap heat however I feel it has enough netting and the outer material being a cooler color shouldn’t build up much extra heat and will give the bird optimum shade. I’ll update this review after I try it out Just very impressed by the build quality and I’m sure my cockatiels be happy. The perch is a nice thickness, not to happy about water bottle position meaning the bird needs to be on the button of the bag to drink water where as they can eat perched however I think that’s more or less a problem with the design since if it could be placed higher the material would be to thin plus the ventilation would probably be hindered if they were to flip flop it to where the top is stiff and the button is a mesh material. So I don’t think there is any work around in that area. Edit: My Bird got injuried and the vet advised my cockatiel stay in a cage roughly the size of this bag and honestly this bag makes it easy to give him his meds, he feels safe, and he has his food and water so it’s like a temporary portable cage. Took perch out since he can’t perch right now and I’m laying pillow cages over the metal grid for my lil guy to lay on. All and all solid bag and definitely fantastic for vacations or monitoring a injured or sick Bird by placing them on your night stand when you sleep or on your desk when you work.

I am super impressed with the quality of this carrier. Sturdy and well-designed, I feel super comfortable and confident taking my bird on walks in this, and I believe it will last for a very, very long time. What sets this product apart for me, when compared to other similar bird backpacks, is that it is not over designed. It is well thought out and it has what you need, but not tons of stuff that you don't, and I really appreciate that. I can't stand tons of bells and whistles that I'll never use and that just get in the way. This carrier has none of that. The few and easily forgiven cons: The included food dish is very deep and narrow. Not sure my cockatiel could realistically reach down into it to eat unless I really filled it up. When it first arrived, it had a vinyl odor. I left the flaps open outside for two days and the odor disappeared. The waist belt doesn't cinch down tight enough. I am very petite, and it would be nice to have a tight waist belt to keep the pack close to my body while walking, to minimize bouncing for the bird. Excellent product. If you're looking for a backpack type carrier, this is the one.

I really love this parrot carrier! There's so many different things you can do with it! The perch was a little bit too wide and slippery for our yellow shouldered Amazon, so we were able to utilize the holes on each side of the carrier and use thick zip ties and those rope bundle purchase which come in many different sizes and thicknesses and lengths and whatnot, and now she feels very secure in it because we've got it zip tied on both sides to the point where it doesn't move around when we're traveling and make her feel unsteady and she can climb up either side of it or sit on it like a swing in the middle at the bottom and reach everything perfectly for the water and food and whatnot. She absolutely doesn't mind being in it whatsoever and she can see everything I'm like other carriers that were sitting here too high. That's the other good thing about using an adjustable perch like those rope ones that flax because you can put your bird in a position that I can see out of the front clearly and that they feel safe and secure and not falling off the perch. The quality is fantastic other than I wish the zipping was smoother and that there was a way to have a snap on the front clear plastic window so that when you open it up you have a way to keep it held open while you're getting your bird out. We are going to sew on a small Velcro piece to resolve this but if the seller added a snap or Velcro to add with this, I would say that the item is absolutely perfect. I highly recommend this item!

This backpack is great, and honestly, I would've kept it if it weren't for a few problems that my cockatiel had with it. First, the pros. When this first arrived, it came with a strong smell. However, it quickly dissipated after a day (unlike the others ones I tried). It is well-ventilated, and I love how you can cover up the openings. It comes with a deep food/water bowl, and it also felt very sturdy. My cockatiel is very docile and doesn't have problems with carriers; I was shocked when he hated this one. He's barely 8 weeks old, and it still didn't fit his tail (he hates when his tail feathers bend). And, unlike the other carriers I tried, this one was very dark inside; he hates small, dark areas. I tried his favorite snack to entice him in, but he refused to get in. I tried this for several days but to no avail. If he won't go in for his favorite snack, then he will never go in. I don't recommend this backpack for a cockatiel.

Product arrived okay, however invoice with product shows total cost as $156.46 and I was charged $290.01. What happened with the $133.55 that is not accounted for?

I just received this carrier the other day and I'm very impressed. I have a small Pak-O-Bird by Celltei and let me tell you this is just as good if not better. The only thing I would wish for is for the mesh to be made of metal like the Celltei carriers and for a similar food dish set up. The inside is very spacious and is more than suitable for a Conure. It looks like it could fit up to a goffin cockatoo comfortably but because of their chewing habits I wouldn't recommend it for outside travelling. As a car seat it may work really well since there's less risk of escape into open air. It's easy to assemble and feels very sturdy. I'm not a huge fan of the dish set up as it is very deep but it is nice that it is there to offer food while travelling. It would be nice if there were some D-hooks inside for hanging toys but if you are creative enough you can hang toys via the open vents at the top of the carrier. The tray is ever so slightly too long and makes the side flap bulge just a little. But it does fit snuggly in there and keeps the base flat. I admit, if the bird was a chewer, I would be concerned that the thin fabric of that flat in particular would be the first place they would get through. I LOVE the hard plastic edging surrounding the opening. It prevents birds from picking at the stitching which my conure has done to her Celltei carrier. There is one zipper on it that I question though and that is on the inside. On the back wall there is a zipper that opens up to expose the board that makes the back stiff. I don't fully understand why they put this zipper on the inside where the bird can pick at it. Putting it on the back outside would have made more sense. What I would love to see is a better dish set up, options for extra perches, toy hooks and a change in the mesh. A really great addition would be changing up the zippers on the front so that they either clip together or allow you to put a lock on it to secure the zippers closed. My biggest fear is having someone come up behind me and opening the bag. I usually slip a twist tie through the zippers when I'm out just to be safe. And just because, I'd love to see different colors! I'll be giving it a thorough testing by using it as a sleeper for my conure over the next little while. I highly recommend this carrier. The features are beyond expectation and the price is resonable. It comes with nice instructions, a small accessory bag and a larger storage bag. I have three birds and it is safe to say I'll be ordering a second one for my lovebirds. I also absolutely love that the company provides their contact information. A+ work.

I bought this carrier to take my 2 budgies, one English budgie & one standard budgie, on a a road trip. It’s the best carrier that I have seen yet. It looks like a little back pack when all the flaps are closed, and no one would even guess it’s a pet carrier unless you have the front flap up for your birds to look out the window, or if people hear them chirp of course! Good features of this bag are as follows: #1 good ventilation, mesh screen on both sides, the bottom front, and 3 vent holes on the top that let air in if all your flaps are closed. The 2 side screens and front plastic window flaps have buttons so you can roll them back & pin them in place. The mesh screens are fine enough so that no seeds or feathers can fall outside the bag. #2 removable tray & grate: This comes out through a zipper on the lower side to be cleaned & keeps your birds from sitting in their own filth all day. #3 easy to carry: the straps on the bag make it easy to carry on your shoulder, in your hand, or on your back like a back pack. The bag sits nice & straight when on your back, & when sitting on a table. This bag sits nicely in a car seat with the long strap wrapping up around the head rest, and the seat belt fastened around the bag, which makes it very secure. #4 comes with suspended metal bowl, and an area to attach a water bottle to the outside of the bag for extra cleanliness. #5 perch: the perch was an okay height that both my birds could get up on it from the floor of the cage. Bad features of the bag: #1 perch: the perch didn’t have adjustable height for a larger or smaller bird, and it would have been nice to have a second perch at a different height so the birds could more easily get around each other. #2. Dishes: water bottle wasn’t included With the bag & the feed dish was a bit too deep. I put 2 dishes on the floor of the carrier, with rubber bottoms, so they wouldn’t slip around. Without the rubber, they would have, in the car. I used the included deep dish for treats. #3 no where to hang any treats from the sides of the cage, or toys if you wanted to.#4 a bit messy to clean: Although the removable tray/grate really helped with cleaning, around the sides where the tray sits, are a lot of nooks and crannies where spilled pellets, seeds and feathers can get. After 2 or 3 days, the whole bag really needs to be dumped clean of all the seeds that get in around the corners. Although there are a few features of this bag that could be improved upon, I was still really pleased with its overall function. I do recommend a few things to take note of however, if you do decide to purchase this bag. Air out the bag at least a few days before you put your birds in, as there seems to be a bit of off gassing, which was fine after a few days. Also, start getting your birds used to the bag a week before the trip so they are not stressed by it when it’s time to go. It took my birds about 4 tries getting in the bag so that they weren’t afraid of it anymore. The other thing is, be careful with the sun shining on the front window of the bag as it’s plastic, & could heat up the bag. Also the bag is not insulated, so it needs to be covered if taking it outside in winter. Finally, when the front flap is rolled up and pinned so that your birds can look out the window, the rolled flap tends to block the 3 vent holes on the top of the bag, so care needs to be taken that adequate ventilation is coming from at least one of the other vents, if the top ones are covered. Despite the few minor things that could have been improved upon regarding this bag, it was a great bag for travelling, and a god send for bringing my birds on a road trip. Saved a lot of money from having to board them, and they got used to it fairly quickly. I received many compliments on the bag, and quite a few people said that they never knew such a thing even existed! Nice to see someone put a bit of thought into its design. I highly recommend.

It came with a travel case, so if you want to store your backpack, you can fold it up easily. A pleasant surprise! I had two challenges with the pack: the perch was a little loose for my liking so I added a rubber washer and it was fine. And the cup was too big for the wire holder that came with it. Will probably replace it with a drawstring. Otherwise, the pack is excellent. It had a hole for a water dispenser that I didn’t not expect. It can also be clipped safely in a car seatbelt and can probably hold a African Grey no problem. Lots of room for my cockatiel!

This is my dream bird carrier & it's better than I thought it would be. The zippers are really protected from birds chewing/pecking at them!, perch is a dowel, but very sturdy & safe for your precious bird. I love that the front opening has 2 zipper -which I will lock/clip closed so my children or curious observers cant open it. Compared to other carriers I've had & seen this one has so much ventalation. If it gets too breezy, the side panels could be closed & front panel closed but still allowing air flow. There are 3 holes (that are reinforced with metal) at the top of the carrier -which I attached a toy through them. I included many pictures, because I found the ones online didnt do it justice. 1. there is a hole & elastics for a water bottle. I included mine in a picture, but it doesnt come with it. 2. The man wearing the carrier has it weird on his back. It has a shoulder strap. This one keeps the carrier snug against your back. 3. It also has a waist strap.. which you can attach around your waist or clip them into the clips at the top by the handle (which is padded really well and very comfortable!). I thought the clear, soft screen at the front would be horrendous & my bird would chew through it. He hadnt. Awesome quality. This carrier has a bag it comes in that's really huge & intimidating. Its incredable. Be careful the first time you zipped it up. Its tight around the corners and the teeth may not click in one after the other properly. I gave it 4/5 because the bird stand itself was damaged & the bottom grate was damaged in one corner ...both you can see in the pictures. Regardless best carrier ever!!!! I tried another brand/kind. This one is more enjoyable, safer, less advious, has so much ventalation & sturdier than others! I'm so glad I bought it! I will attach a picture of my bird in it & of it on my back once I get one. I will also remove the damaged picture & change the rating if the company replaces the damaged parts.
