Kiwi's carrier is relined! Like "pimp my ride" for parrots

Wow I am speechless looking at the great job you've done here! How did you attach the fabric?

I hand-sewed it in over the existing fabric using a blanket stitch and did the appliqué on the panels before stitching them into the carrier. Kiwi is not a fabric chewer, so he hasn't bothered it at all. But a bird who chews fabric and will pick at thread, this might not work so well with.

And just a bit of an update on this- WORTH EVERY PENNY! Not only has he been enjoying walks and trips out, but he likes just sitting in it at home too. I think it's a cozy little 'nest' thing to him, but he hasn't been extra aggressive, defensive or hormonal, so I'm allowing it (for now). I took the dishes out though, since they just clack around and he's never in there long enough to use them.

Kiwi's Mom is sure talented! What size is this carrier?
Thanks, Shauna

I was looking at carriers like yours today but nowhere near as snazzy-looking!! very impressed!! One of these backpacks will probably be my next big buy!
