Georgiesmum Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 Is It hard to train a new grey to let you put on a flight harness?? And how would I go about doing this without annoying her... As I want her to like me not hate me...:unsure: <br><br>Post edited by: zzzelama, at: 2009/10/22 19:11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
particle77 Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 alot depends on the grey. The harness I use requires me to put a loop around my greys neck, and pass another loop under its wings and across his belly. Some greys are not crazy about this kind of interaction. I would recommend working on handling before even trying to put a harness on, to make sure your grey is comfortable with being touched in all the places you will have to touch. So far I've been lucky, and Earl was willing to allow the harness from the start. Now he actually helps, by poking his head through the loop on his own, and raising his wings.

JillyBeanz Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 I'm well known for my trials and tribulations with a harness. The best to purchase by far is the Aviator harness. It comes with an idiots guide DVD - which shows you how to train your baby. I won't lie - it's not an easy process - takes time, energy and a lot of patience, but these are the results: Harvey loves the garden, loves nosying around and being with us. Go for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvparrots Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 Ana Grey doesn't love her harness, but with practice it can be done. The aviator harness is a blessing as a harness! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
