Jessica wanted to share her African Grey using a rope perch<\/a> in an XS dog crate for travel!<\/span><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

<\/p>\n

She is fully flighted, but we liked taking her out to the garden with us when pulling weeds, etc. (lots of fresh snacks to try \ud83d\ude09<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We wrap a lot of our rope perches in vet wrap<\/a> though. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Makes cleaning things like rope perches a lot easier, just tear off the dirty and re-wrap.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We use a quick-lock crock<\/a> in the crate if for any actual travel away from home, and I would also recommend small padlocks on any doors if your bird likes to fiddle with the latches, or if your bird will be unattended for even a moment when traveling.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Well-meaning admirers may try to open the door to pet your bird, etc.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A fully flighted bird will be gone like a shot if that crate is opened outside!<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Dear Jessica<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Your pics and suggestions are great.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We don’t suggest dog crates as the first choice as they don’t have a grille on the bottom and the bar spacing is quite wide. <\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

But in a pinch, they will work just fine if outfitted properly which you have handled well.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We recommend this handled carrier for bird transport. It would be easy to carry outside. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Just slide out the tray below the built-in grille and your bird can nibble on the grass safely.<\/span><\/p>\n

Thank you so much for writing.<\/span><\/p>\n
