ok one of you will be able to find me something

DH always used a small (or large - depending upon the size of the bird) cat carrier. For car trips he might put food or a tiny amount of water in a ceramic feeder cup since we could stop and give them water along the way. For a longer trip, he would slice an orange into quarters and put that in for them. It would give them something to entertain themselves and had the added bonus of a high water content.

well, we're reading that the "soft carriers" are better for the birds. Buying one is $50+ - a roll of "pet mesh" (which has many other uses) is $14, I have prequilted material and fleece at home!
