More info on Aviator Harness please!
« on: March 05, 2007, 10:58:59 AM »
I have read quite a bit from you guys (Sharla, Captain Quark, etc) regarding the aviator harness - I wanted to know - because I am determined to NOT clip Coco's wings again - what would be the best option on the aviator harness? There are those that allow free flight - and those that do not - I am not very clued up on the "harness" thing - but would like to know more!?

Thanks,
Dawn

Ok - So I bought one already - but will need help along the way!!! I bought one from The Parrot University site - That's good? RIGHT?
I bought a medium - which is suggested for African Grey's and even though Coco is not fully grown - she will grow into it - she seems to be the right "Size" - I hope!!!

Gandolf is harnessed trained but Izzie is still a work in progress. Gandolf is scared of nothing and Izzie is scared of everything. Poor Izzy I'll keep trying sometimes it is a slow process. Gandolf hated the over the head part but he has gotten used to it.

Coco is the same - She is fearless - I bought a new toy for her over the weekend - It was quite large - I went near her cage with it and she started to climb the cage to get closer to it - I then just put it in her cage and she was swinging on it - chewing it - etc... Also bought her a new (larger) cage two weeks ago - put her in there and she was extremely happy and had no problem with the cage - I guess it's also cause she is hand-reared and has all sorts of new things introduced to her ALL DAY long being at work with me.  I am so lucky to have such a darling!  :-*
