Travel Carriers

Travel Carriers have come a long way. Nowadays you find carriers that are light, bright and fun to look at, topped only by pure convenience of additional pockets and shoulder-straps, even anti-shock suspension. Scroll down for the pick of the litter.

Note: many of them are made specifically for cats and dogs, but could be converted. If you have a bird with strong beaks, skip on "soft-sided carriers"!

Super Pet Come Along Carrier (Small / Medium / Large) I actually bought this one for my lovebird for the occasional vet visit. I got the small for him. It's light-weight and looks really cute. I even walked with him into the grocery store -- by the time people knew there was a pet in there (rather than just being an attractive fun bag), I was already in the check-out lane and everybody thought he was cute :-) This carrier is marketed for small pets, and it works perfectly for pet birds too. Probably not for heavy chewers though -- for them the acrylic carrier on top would be better - or any of the hard-shell carriers below.
