Carrier?

Does this look like a possible carrier for a small to medium parrot?

Any thoughts? Ideas?

Why not a parrot? Parrots come in small sizes too. :?

While I agree with Michael as you might want to go over to the other discussion, the reason that the one you suggest might not be as good for parrots is that it's been design for a cat.

The difference?

The cat might not try to chew (and be as successful) it's way out as a parrot would. I would assume (and hope) that when manufacturers design a similar type of carrier for parrots, they keep this in mind and make it more resistant that way.
