I really dont think you can get them to cover wings and all and if you can i wouldn't advise them:( you can get little clothes on the avian fashion site tho

You are joking right Jamal. Why would you want to restrict your greys' bodies/feathers. You aren't thinking of taking them outside in the winter time are you???

Thats just about the most ridiculous thing I have heard Jamal, you can't be serious can you, but then it really doesn't surprise me about the things you say.

Jamal, your first post said "I need sweaters for my birds". And somehow that turned into your friend's cockatoo !!

rick - white ones - owner - asked me about it first 4 his bird and of coarse if they have such a thing mines will get them 2. they dont like 2 B left out.

 

i found out that they have sweaters for parrots - just not full coverage sweaters - but they have wing free sweaters.

 

Best friend animal sanctuary uses sock sweaters for their plucking parrots.

 

 

this is what i found:

 

 

------------------------------------------------------

Some of the birds at Best Friends are feather pickers. And if a bird is a feather picker, the chest area is often the prime target.

 

That’s what’s great about the sweaters. They give the birds some protection, as well as distraction. It’s much harder to pick when there are all these cool patterns and colors to study. And a nice thick sock does take some time to chew through, after all.

 

After lots of practice, the caregivers at the Parrot Garden have found the perfect way to snip and trim a new adult-sized, mid-calf, stretchy sock into the perfect cardigan sweater. And any buttons, beads, patches, or toys attached to the sock-sweaters make them all the better at slowing down the feather-picking. Think of these doodads and thingamajigs as a parrot iPod or electronic game player. Who wants to pluck feathers when there are so many cool toys to enjoy?!

One note on best friends sanctuary. It is primarily for dogs and cats, not birds.

 

I am moving this thread out of this room. This room is for new members introducing themselves.
