Advice needed for cargo shipping a parakeet

[chickechombe]

Calling all experienced bird shippers!

I have to ship my parakeet in cargo and the requirements state there must be a perch attached inside the crate. I cannot find anything to buy that's geared towards this accommodation, everything seems to be made to attach to a regular bird cage, which we obviously cannot ship her in. Any advice or suggestions of products appreciated!

Hello - you would need a perch for your pet and you can use a dowel. You can drill a small hole at the end and wire it to a ventilation hole. You will also need to cover the door and ventilation holds with a fine material like cheesecloth so air can get through but your bird cannot poke their feet outside of the crate.
