Question B&G Macaw Boarding Cage/Culpable

I am looking for a collapsible cage to be used as a Short term boarding cage for a friends B&G Macaw.

I may have this female B&G Macaw randomly on weekends or holidays and i would like to have a cage available at my home for her to sleep in and spend some time in while i'm not at home or quite time. Ideally this cage would collapse so i could put it away when she is not with me, id rather not have to get out a tool kit every time i have to put it together or take it apart but having to secure a bolt or two is better then it not being safe.

I was thinking about a large dog crate,(which would meet my needs, maybe not hers) however since it is something she will be spending some waking hours in and i want to make sure its safe and is made of materials that will not make her sick, and will also survive her being a little rough with it.

Does anyone have any experience with this? Or recommendations?

Thank you,
Criss

Since I spend little time at the second home up north, I keep a couple fairly large dog crates up there for my GW and my B&G. They have doors on the end and on the side. There's room for toys, a long pvc perch and I have bowls that mount to the sides. The spaces between the bars ar a bit larger than I would normally care to have, but otherwise I've never had problems.
