Does anyone use a travel carrier for their cag for sleeping in at night ? I have 4 children and it seems every room is occupied and noisy up until around 10:30 or so . I was going ti put her in a travel carrier in my big walk in closet only for her 12 hours of uninterrupted sleep . Is this ok ? The cages travel carrier by Prevue Hendrix is 19x 15x 18 tall .

In my experience with my greys they HATE not being able to see out, and hence get very agitated in anything like a cat carrier. It is possible they could be trained out of this, but I think this might be more common in especially intelligent bird species. If they can still hear stuff going on, even in the closet, then they will want to SEE what is going on to reassure themselves. The travel cage my birds put up with for extended periods of time is this one:
But it is a bit of a catch 22 - you want it to be quiet and dark for them to sleep, but if there are disturbances they can still hear a "cat carrier" type cage might end up increasing their excitement/enervation.

It would seem to be helpful for things like night frights as they wouldnβt be able to move or fall far. But I donβt think itβs the best move. Even while sleeping Greys know their surroundings and prefer some space and line of sight to their environment.
Personally Iβd never put my bird in a closet.
