The AVIATOR Pet Bird Harness and Leash: X-Large Red Made in America

The media could not be loaded.  I’ve been wanting this harness for a long time, but always hesitated because of the price. I’m so glad I decided to get this, though! I immediately took my bird for a walk around my street, and she loved it. She did not like wearing the harness- I did some training with her with a cheaper one I bought just to test if she’d even like it, but she still kept pecking at it.. perhaps I put it on wrong! The instructions could be clearer in the manual, but there are tons of videos out there of people putting these on their birds so..Be careful with this, though- it could easily traumatise your bird if not handled right. Some birds also don’t suit going outside- my conure is incredibly jumpy and doesn’t even like when I have the window slightly open.Overall, great product! Lovely and secure, but beware of your birds’ feet getting tangled.

As the title says, do plenty of homework online before buying.I have a very tame Alexandrine and found:Can it be chewed through? Not easily. When it became clear I was going to shelve the item I gave it to him to chew apart but even with the main springy cord under tension he didn't seem to be able to slice through.Is the harness itself secure? Yes..when correctly fitted.Is it easy to put on? I found the Alexs long wings tricky to tuck through the loop, but I got it on in 20 secs on the first go. Theres a nack to it and you really need to get it right and smooth first time or you will stress the bird.Does the bird like it? Each to their own. My bird seemed claustrophobic in it...the main reason I shelved it.Any other issues? I didn't like the way the long 'springy cord' attached to the harness...it seemed a very superficial splice connection. I also don't like the other end of the whole set up being loosely attached to my wrist.I did a few test runs in the house and didn't feel confident enough to go outside. It really didn't seem worth the risk and the more the bird 'noticed' the harness the fun drained away. I got a few hours sulking and the next time I tried the harness he fought against it.I know plenty of people who use this harness daily and swear by it. It is a GOOD buy, clever, well made and one of the best ways of achieving the purpose..... but as I said originally, it's something you should buy on the basis of quite a bit of research. There was nothing worng with mine...I just didn't have the bottle to go outside!

I like it and seems well built, however considering the materials involved in making this product, the price is highway robbery and it's not the shop's fault because that's about the same price everywhere including the US.The hard part is getting your parrot to like it because if he was never handled before or used to have something on him you're going to be in for a lot of work. My 5 month old African Grey doesn't like it and even though putting it on was really easy, taking it OFF was HORRIBLE as we struggled for 20 minutes because he panicked and just wouldn't stand still.If you start the process of getting him accustomed to the harness you're going to need a LOT OF TIME and PATIENCE and NEVER get angry with him or the situation.Good luck!

This item is the best of all harnesses on the market. It was delivered on time and I was very pleased with it and my green wing macaw loves it she is getting used to it now so will not be long before she is out flying with it. I watched the dvd quite a few times and followed it to the tee just touch my time getting her used to it did not rush it now she is very good with it so I must say this is by far the best and for not a lot of money we will be trying it out on our blue and gold macaw we are very pleased with it I would recommend it to and bird lovers don't but others buy this and follow the instructions to the full and you will not be sorry nor will your bird getting out safe to fly again with you helping him or her

This is the only harness you should buy. Easy to put on - depending on your parrot obviously.My African Grey has been wearing this every day for a week and really enjoys his time outside.He can fly , perch, walk and explore.I have given the value 3 out of 5 as , I understand you get what you pay for and this harness is the best, I just feel that 4 or 5 times the price of a regular harness is a bit of a stretch given what it actually consists of.

My Cockatiel has taken some time to get used to this but it now allows me to take him outside to get some proper sunshine and fresh air.The harness feels secure and has survived all "beaking" and pecking that my 'tiel has thrown at it!It's much softer than other harnesses on the market which has been a godsend whilst our little feather baby had a few pin feathers around his head.The stretchy cord allows a much softer impact on the delicate breastbone of your bird should something spook it enough for them to take flight. I think this is perfectly suited to strong flying birds as it requires the bird to take a bit of time coming back to land.Would recommend this product to anyone with a strong flying bird who needs some fresh air and sun on their feathers!
