Pet's info: Bird | Unknown - Bird | Male | unneutered | 1.4 lbs

Where can I buy travel cages for my birds? What cage would you recommend? I have 3 parakeets and I’m moving to a new house soon and I want to make sure I move them properly.

You should be able to purchase a travel cage at any local pet store that carries bird supplies. You'll want to find one that is large enough to house all three birds comfortably, and that a food and water dish can be placed in. You'll want the same spacing of the bars as you would a regular cage (usually 1/2 inch or smaller for parakeet and smaller birds) to prevent any injury. You may also want to find a cover that can fit the travel cage as well, as keeping it dark while moving the birds can help reduce stress and anxiety during the move.
