been my local pet shop and the cheapest carrier was 35 quid!

had a quick mooch on the argos site, and they have two that seem to be ok! trouble is i cant see them in the flesh so to speak, so which do you think will be best?

that one is Length 49cm, Width 32cm, Height 30cm
or they do a slightly bigger one which is Length 60cm, Width 40cm, Height 39cm

Thanks!

Steve I have one almost identical to that and it's fine for travelling in the car and taking to the vets. I wouldn't want Nico to spend huge amounts of time in there but she always seems happy enough when in there.  I reckon they are great value. 

[steve23]

thanks for the replies!!! does the dog come with your carrier mcsmichelles??? hes so cute!!!

thats great, thanks, i might go for the slightly bigger one, just so he has that bit more room!

[mcsmichelles]

This is similar to  the one I have got It folds flat when not in use £24.99. I found with the plastic travel cages my bird slipped about in them, he prefers and feel safer hanging on to a perch

I have this same one for winnie and it's great  we also use it for her to sit outside and catch the rays !!    we put toys in that she knows and it's easy to keep clean

[Bob]

Yeah I have something like that too but slightly larger (The birdie 602)
Like Winnie says great for taking them outside in

i bought a plastic pet carrier for jasper as i dont like the pak-o-bird ones.

i put a towel in the bottom to stop him sliding and asked my neighbour if he could fix a perch in for him. he used one from jaspers cage so he already was used to it. 

he really does like going out in it now and doesnt struggle when i put him in 

[paulski]

Hi
Im also thinking about when its time to bring the baby home
i have a plastic cat box that i plan to use with a towel in it do you think i should fit a perch into it
the bird will be about 14 weeks old if so what sort of size should it be
thanks
Paul
P.s. the birds name will be "pepsi"

[Tracy jojo,s mum]

Awww pepsi, i like that!  , i would put a perch as welll as a towel just incase, good luck. 

[steve23]

well i got the larger of the two carriers!

good idea about the perch, i was just going to put a towel in their!!!

will have to get the drill out!

[geffsgrey]

What I put in my carrier is a towel, and a thick diameter, rough surface (bark left on ) perch and cut the base so it is flat, is does not roll or move around.as it is placed on the bottom on the towel. and that works great.

[Angie.]

Good idea that Geoff

[geffsgrey]

Thanks Angie.

[jules]

thats a good idea geoff too.

no need to get the drill out,if you have got or could buy one of those perches with the nut and bolt already attached you're half way there. just put something similar on the other end,my neighbour used a walking stick badge so its bee 'personalised' in  away. 

jaspers perch is about 1inch diameter
