Pet Carrier vs Travel Cage

[cml]

Just for reference I also have the aluminum kings cage travel cages, which are way to heavy to carry any distance.

Totally agree with that they are really heavy to carry for anything more than a short distance.I went for the medium for my green cheek because it has a grill to prevent the bottom tray from accidently being pushed up. Its an ideal size for a temp holiday cage and is very strong and durable, but for short journeys/taking a bird outside it is a pain. Finding a secure carry cage with suitable bar spacing and easily transportable is a nightmare.

I converted a hamster cage, it works brilliantly!

A carrier is the best solution for transporting your pet to you but not in it for several days. I think both are necessary if going on a vacation but since it's pretty hard to get both you have to decide. I believe that the most useful is a travel cage is ideal although a pet carrier for transport only.
