A secure enclosure designed for the transportation of sizable avian species, often constructed of durable materials such as metal or reinforced plastic, providing adequate space for the bird to stand, turn around, and perch comfortably. Examples include models featuring multiple access points, integrated food and water bowls, and robust locking mechanisms to prevent escape.
The significance of such a carrier lies in ensuring the safety and well-being of the bird during travel, whether for veterinary visits, relocation, or avian shows. A well-designed carrier minimizes stress for the animal and protects it from external hazards. Historically, improvised methods of transporting parrots were common, leading to increased risk of injury and escape. The development of specialized carriers represents a significant advancement in avian care.
