I got it from Amazon for $25.
Edit: I agree with /u/gruvgreaves, you should be careful. I checked out the bar spacing and it's 3/4 of an inch. That's rated as not safe for my 'tiel either. I'm not worried for myself because my girl hasn't ever tried to get out of a cage. Source
I have two cages for my 'tiel. One for the main room we spend time in (office) and one for sleeping/travel. Tiels tend to have night terrors and are better off sleeping in a smaller, wider, sparsely decorated cage.
I ordered this one in large for him. Perfect for week long trips. He's stayed in a hotel for a couple days with us in that cage. Might work well for your living room cage.
I personally like this carrier. Because it has bars on the side, I can attach food/water dishes (the ones it comes with aren't great) and perches. My vet loves it. It doesn't have a tray under it, so I put down a towel on the bottom in case water spills. It closes securely. I can wrap the lap part of the seat belt around it and it stays in place. I normally cover the half of the cage on the window side, not that it can see out, but to keep the light/heat off my bird. It can be difficult for my parrot to see out, though. I also have one of these which is great because it collapses. It's kind of big - I used to transport a pair of GCCs in it and it could serve as an overnight cage. It's kind of easy for the door to open, so I normally have a bit of velcro holding it shut at extra (it's never opened on me, I just worry about it when things are jostling around to/from car and buildings). This carrier does have a tray under it, so I line it with paper towels and if any water spills it isn't a big deal.
Having done lots of long drives with a couple different parrots, I think the most important thing is that the bird can see its person. I always have normal food, treats, and water in there for them.
I need a carrier for my cat. We take her places with us and she doesn't have one and she gets scared easily in the car. She has an appointment to get spayed and get her shots in a few weeks and she has to have a carrier for that.
