I just wanted to thank you Michael for all your great information, training tips and videos. I've built two Modified Deluxe Two Door Carriers for my current GCC and future ( ? - larger) bird per your video. :gcc: :)

Wow great job! I'm glad you found it helpful.

BTW, I have since written about turning one of those into a double carrier for two parrots. I still totally recommend for having two separate carriers whenever possible. However, sometimes you only need to travel a small distance and can't bring two carriers and this is helpful. I use this for transporting my parrots in winter so they can keep each other warmer under an electric blanket. I also used it when I wanted to bring both to the vet and I needed to take the subway. There was no way I could have brought two carriers on a trip like that with me.

BTW I can't tell, but I hope you made a safety clip for the top door. Considering that the entire weight of the carrier hangs from the top door, failure in the snaps would cause the carrier to fall open and bird to get scared and fly out.

RE: Michael - Yes, it's hard to see in the subsampled photo, but both cages have different size perches, a water dish and a marine, brass spring-clasp to secure the top door. Aside from travel to the Vet, these are excellent for showing the bird(s) around the neighborhood so they'll be familiar with the area in case they escape and would like to fly home. I also like to take my GCC out for a walk/sit in the Sun so he'll be happier and healthier. I do have an Avian Sun UVA/UVB CFL bulb which I turn on for a few hours every afternoon/evening. Thanks again, Mark.

Have you tried just looking for a cat/dog carrier?
