Frequently Asked Questions about Bird Carriers
Are bird carriers safe for birds?
Yes, carriers can be safe for birds, but it's important to find the right kind for your bird's species. For example, larger birds require larger carriers; stronger-billed birds, on the other hand, can chew through plastic, so you must consider the carrier's material.
What size bird carrier do I need for my bird?
To determine the correct size of carrier, consider your bird's size and species. A carrier needs to allow your bird to stand comfortably and move comfortably inside. This usually equates to being about 1.5–2 times the size of your bird in width, depth, and height.
How do I make my bird comfortable in a carrier?
Helping your bird feel comfortable in a carrier means acclimating your bird to it. Like with many animal carriers — start slowly. Gradually introduce the carrier to your bird in larger amounts of time. Consider placing treats and toys inside of it so your bird becomes more comfortable in it for longer periods.
How do I know if a bird carrier airline-approved?
To determine if your bird carrier is airline-approved, always check your chosen airline's pet travel policies. Contact the airline directly and inquiring about what types of animals they allow, ventilation requirements, acceptable dimensions, and other specifics.
What should I put in a bird carrier for travel?
A bird carrier for travel should have ample room for ventilation and be large enough so your bird can move around. Additionally, include a water source, food bowl, and even familiar toys to make the carrier more comfortable. More items may be needed for a longer trip.
