Parrot cages for the RV

We have two parrots. A 21 year old African Grey and a 20 year old Yellow Nape Amazon. They have been traveling their whole lives and do very well. The thing is we have been using 18" wide x 18" deep x 25" high acrylic cages in the RV.

These are pretty small cages.

They have the air holes in the top. These travel cages have been fine for weekend getaways but now that dh is retired we can go for longer times and I don't like the birds cooped up in these small cages. I also don't want to get larger acrylic cages. They can't climb around in them. The only good thing about the acrylic is they keep the mess in. The cages ride side by side on the dinette. I'm thinking of using two conure cages 20.5"L x 16.1"W x 34"H or something similar.

These are still small. But if you let them out for a few hours every day they should do OK. Have you looked at those nice large parrot cages at Petco and PetsMart? They're attractive and very well made. :)

I'd like to know what kind of cages other Parrot owners use for travel and how do you keep the seed and food off the walls and furniture.:@
TIA, Carol, Gabby and Chili

Plexiglass enclosures set a few inches from the bars of the cage. This is one of the reasons I gave up my African Gray. She made such a mess with her food and when she molted it was a never ending clean-up several times a day. I could no longer let her out of her roomy cage as she was destroying everything she could reach in our house. Picture frames, the sofa and other furniture... even the collars of my blouses when she sat on my shoulder. She was sold to a breeder with huge room size cages. She can live a more normal life there then she ever could in a cage in someone's home.
