Bird bags are useful for safely traveling with a bird and serve as a great temporary holding place when you need to clean the bird's cage. Here's everything you need to know about bird bags.
Why do I need bird bags?
Like dogs, birds love to go on road trips and the best way to prevent them from flying around the car while you're driving is to put them in a bird bag. Without bird bags, traveling with a bird would be incredibly dangerous. Can you imagine what would happen if your bird decided to take flight in the middle of a long distance trip? Danger! So, to keep you, your bird and anyone else who might be traveling in the car safe from a sneak bird attack, get a bird bag.
Bird bags are also really useful when you need to clean your bird's cage. Bird cages need to be cleaned frequently and the best way to keep your bird from flying around the house and pooping on your furniture while you're cleaning the cage, is to put him in a secure bird bag.
Bird bags for pet birds
Bird bags for pet birds come in all shapes, sizes and colors. Any bag that you buy should be breathable and well ventilated so the bird can get plenty of air. Before you buy a bird bag, decide what kind of environments you might want to take your bird in. For example, if you're taking your bird on an airplane, you probably want to look for a bird bag that has a hard top and a droppings tray so you can keep the bird safe and clean.
If you're going for a hike, you should look for a nylon bird bag that's water resistant and can be attached to your back. These bird bags also typically include a removable droppings catcher so you can catch and get rid of any mess your bird makes.
Hunting bird bags
Bird owners aren't the only ones who might need bird bags. Bird bags are also really helpful to bird hunters. Bird bags for bird hunters are usually made out of metal or nylon. These bird bags are usually breathable to keep the meat fresh and to minimize the smell from the dead birds. Large hunting bird bags can hold up to 12 quail. Both types of bags can easily be washed. The nylon bags can be sprayed and then put in the washing machine while the metal bags can be hosed off and scrubbed. Most hunting bird bags come in colors, such as bright orange, that are safe to wear in the field.
