Fabric vs Metal Bird Carrier for Evacuation

 Hi,

We live in a Tsunami area.  I have seen on tv, somewhere, a canvas backpack which

is a parrot travel cage. It has a perch and screen. Granted it's not big, but in an emergency

situation....I would want one big time.  The other day, I saw a man coming out of PetCo

carrying his cat in the same sort of thing. It was like a duffel bag instead of a back pack.

Very cool and much easier to carry that the aluminum cage.

Hi Kate


Hi Kate

 

Thanx for the email

 

First – heres a link to backpack carriers 

http://www.windycityparrot.com/Bird-Travel-Carriers-Parrots.html

 We don’t recommend these for evacuation purposes – 3 reasons. 

1) When you’re rushing in an emergency and “throwing” things in the car the rigid carrier will withstand the packing and the trip. 

2) If the evacuation continues for more than a day or 2  you’ll want your bird in a less restricted enviornment than back pack with limited viewing for the bird. 

3) Without contstant supervision, your bird may chew out of the fabric carrier
