There are cat and dog carriers, but bird carriers? Well, now you can easily transport your bird to the vet or just for a neighborhood stroll with the PetPocket Bird Carrier ($30). I know it's weird and kind of sad that you are taking a flying creature for a mere walk, but I think that getting your bird out of the cage and away from the little mirror, is good for their mental health.

This hands-free, vest-style bird carrier hangs over your shoulders and is constructed of durable mesh fabric that allows good airflow and visibility for your bird. It features a zippered opening on the top and bottom for easy access and includes a removable bottom tray to catch messes, a wood beveled perch and two toy hanging loops. It's not parrot-sized friendly, but is perfect for small and medium size birds like parakeets, canaries, finches lovebirds and more.

I guess a really long leash and a bird harness to let them fly around tethered wouldn't work... hmmm.

• Vest-style pet carrier keeps your bird close and hands free
• Mesh fabric promotes airflow and visibility for added safety
• Removable bottom tray, wood perch and more add convenience
• For small and medium size birds, such as parakeets, conures, canaries, finches, budgies, and lovebirds
