Great carrier for small birds

Pros: Really useful as a backpack. Size - It is compact enough to be easy to use but large enough to have enough space inside. For my GCC, it's a lot roomier than the Colorday Carrier (which is similar in size to the carry-on version of it) and has room for a few toys. Its size makes it perfect for running errands as well as taking my GCC to meetings etc. There is mesh on both sides as well as mesh under the plastic panel for good airflow. The shading lid covering the plastic panel protects my GCC from car sickness and also keeps it cool to wear in the bright sun. Handle at the top of the bag so you can wear it as a backpack or just carry it in your hand. A cup of Dixie). Easy to Clean - The fabric is easy to wipe with a damp cloth and the removable tray is easy to clean. It seems that this size can be used in the cabin for air travel. Cons: Plastic viewing windows - my GCC only immobilizes in plastic trunks, and unless I have the sunshade down, this trunk doesn't feel good when I'm in the car. It also amplifies the sun's rays and can cause discomfort inside the stretcher. Detachable grill that comes with the carrier. I think it's dangerous for small birds (which this stretcher is designed for). I've found that this can easily confuse my GCC. Also, this carrier isn't meant to be used for a long time, so there's no reason to leave it there and it still does a clean job. So I recommend losing weight. Impossible to buckle up in the car, although it fits well in the seat and I've had no problems with it tipping over. Perch on dowel. There is room to mount another perch, but a dowel is screwed in on each side to keep the carrier from collapsing. I would love to find something more natural and better for my bird's feet to replace this pin. Overall I think this backpack is great for small birds like kennels, caikis etc. Chewing the web is fairly easy. My little GCC is doing very well so far and I am very happy with my purchase.
