Hello just wondering what people use to put their birds in when needing to travel to the vets, are there little travel cages available for things like this? Just wondering what people’s preferences are?

There are carriers, backpacks, and specific travel cages on Amazon and other websites. We use this one: 
You can also buy a small cage - the ones that pet shops often sell as main bird cages, but they are too small for any bird to be happy in them. They are fine as a travel/"getting fresh air" cage. |

If the travel cage has a detachable base, make sure it's secured.
Having it fall apart with your budgie inside it when you're out & about is not a pleasant thought.

Be our biggest test to date 😆

Looks like you will have no issues getting him used to it - he’s ready to go somewhere now!  Just be careful how and where you place the carrier in the car if this is necessary, being a soft one it will not give him any protection in the event of a collision. |

Absolutely agree, will definitely get my thinking cap on and work out what would be best for the car. Your right he was ready to travel somewhere, this afternoon while i was in the kitchen he hopped in it for Harper, she proudly shouted me through to see, so we popped to the coop with him to show her favourite server. He seemed totally content and happy. In fact took abit of effort to convince him to come out when we got home ☺️ |

Thank you, we didn’t keep in it too long, didnt want to stress him too much even though he was so content being in there, cannot believe he was in it in less than 24 hours of it being delivered. |

Did he go to the vet or was this a trial run?
