Pet Forum / Birds / Birds / May 2004Mesh carrier
I just wanted to mention that I am liking something I bought at a bird fair last year. It is a carrier made of nylon with mesh panels that hangs on the bird owner's body in the front with straps that go over the shoulders, cross and clip to straps at the waistline. It has two zippered openings in the top and one in the bottom. There was a perch inside, but I removed it since I am putting in my electus and the thing wasn't all that large. Probably perfect size for tiels, senegals, etc. It has a plastic tray on the bottom which I put a small towel on top of. Anyway, now I can take Lizzie for walks when I walk the dog. I finally got some warm enough weather around Chicago and we've been out walking twice. She was nervous at first but not really frightened. She squawks once in a while, but is mostly quiet and observant. I am hoping this gives her some new experiences along with fresh air and sunshine. Anyone else tried one of these? I don't think I could ever get one of those harnesses on her. Also this seems safer and I don't think mosquitoes can get in. Janet Levy Wow! Now those of us with canaries could take ours outside as well. I frequently take the budgies out to be spritzed and hang out in the sun with us; just take their cage. However, after being cautioned about mosquitoes, I never take the canary out. We do open screened windows, of course, but a carrier such as that would certainly be useful. > I just wanted to mention that I am liking something > I bought at a bird fair last year.

Parrot Chronicles reviewed a product like this recently and raised some important safety concerns, IMO. What's to prevent your bird from getting squished if you fall, get jumped on by a dog, bump into someone or something, etc.? http://www.parrotchronicles.com/janfeb2004/review2.htm In a previous post, gamin <gamin@nospam.corecomm.net> said: >I just wanted to mention that I am liking something >I bought at a bird fair last year.

People carry children in front and rear carrier's, what's to "prevent" them from killing their child if they fall? Should we stop allowing children to be carried? I would think that if you were carrying a bird (or child) in front of you and something pushed you forward, you would of course use your arms and your body to try not to land face flat on the bird (or child). What if you are out for a walk and get hit by lightning? They don't make car seats for birds, what if you get in a wreck taking your bird to the vet?

I can relate to the OP,,,,,,,,,but....Yea man, what he said Actually, quality children's carriers (without apostrophes) are appropriately padded for protection, most any quality hard-shell bird carrier will fit nicely under a seat belt, and those of us who know better would never take their child or bird out for a walk in a lightning storm. I guess we all have our priorities, though.

That's called the Slippery Slope fallacy in logic. |
