Vacation with birds

[ILSMARGAUX]

I am going on vacation and taking BOOBOO and LuLu. I am leaving in a couple of weeks. My question is how to transport LULU. She is my Catalina Macaw. New to our home. What type of travel cage will a Macaw fit in. BOOBOO has traveled many times and is great at it. I mainly need suggestions on LULU.

You may have to get the large travel kennel, something that will not tear his tail up. My good friend uses a large dog kennel with a perch mounted inside.

someting like a VARI KENNEL would be awesome. or the nylabone pop up ones. they are american so you should be able to get them over pretty easy.

ooh how fun to take your birds on vacation!

When I travel with my ekkie I use this crate
Midwest iCrate Folding Double Door Dog Crate - Crates & Kennels - PetSmart

its super easy to attach perches and toys to and I get the food bowls that clip on the side and its folds down for storage
I love the double doors, they make it so easy to clean and access my bird, I have half the mind to buy the largest one they have and swap it for my bird cage lol

It's also a whole lot cheaper than buying a comprable sized bird travel cage

I personally like the hard sided dog crates for in the vehicle because I feel that they provide more protection if an accident should occur. My conure travels in a small hard plastic carrier.

tail room is very important. it cant be comfortable at all to spend hours with a bent tail.

My lorikekeet Ash travels in her travel cage on long car trips.
