Collapsing cage for the garden

[chirpy]

Hello
I'm not sure if something like this exists or not. We would like to be able to take our cockatiel outside on sunny days but her cage is too big to get outside! However our house is small with very limited storage space so we were looking for something collapsible. She wouldn't be in it for too long as we'd never leave her out on her own, too many foxes in london.
It'd be even better if it could be used as a travel cage too as we've not got one yet.
Thanks for any help

You can get a collapsing cage at birdsupplies.com its listed under travel cage. I have one for each of mine birds and love them.

Really great online store, $35.00 (plus shipping) for the SM size:
Collapsible Travel Cage Carriers for Birds & Parrots: WindyCityParrot.com, Parrot Cages, Parrot Food, Aviaries, Parrot Supplies,Bird Toys,Bird Cages

or

If you want to buy one that comes with a perch and food bowls (they also have all the sizes in stock -- SM, M, LG). Starts at $42.99 for the small (free shipping):
Collapsible Birdcages from Bird and Cage Co

It's the same cages at both stores. I've ordered from both before & they're pretty fast on shipping. I have the small size for my sun conure and the medium for my Grey. Great cages for travel or hanging out on the porch!

Btw, if you want to stock up on extra stuff too, Windy City Parrot has a monthly coupon deal here --> 3 Coupons April 2008

Hi
Thanks for your replies. That cage looks fantastic, exactly what we need. The only problem is that we live in England and I think the shipping costs will be huge (especially with the pound as it is!) Does anyone know where I can get this in England? I've tried a web search but no joy yet

there are alot of collapsible wire dog carriers. i use a huge one for my GW so she has plenty of tail room. i'll bet they have those in England. you just add perches.

Sorry, I didn't see you were from England! I tried Googling really quick and look what I found!!

That's brilliant.
Thanks for all your help everyone.
Now I can order one and if the sun ever comes out again, we can all go and sit in the garden!

Thanks again for your help.
I was extremely excited all day at work after the cage arrived first thing this morning. As soon as I got home I erected it and after spending a long time persauding Chirpy to go in it, she seemed to love it. Took her out to the garden for her first half an hour outside ever. She freaked a bit at first but then seemed to really chill out and enjoy the sun! Lovely!

Cool! I'm glad you were able to get one! Take some pictures of her hanging out outside and post them for us please!

I place a towel over one end when outside to help my bird hide and feel secure. It is a big sky out there!
