What kind of harness do you use?

[Tagtastic]

I am looking to get a harness for Lollie. Need to get her used to it while she is young. I have seen a few on the market and even how to make your own(not that I would do it) Just wondering who has what and how easy/hard they are to get on.

 

Thanks!!

There's 2 types of harnesses---one is the type that has metal clips on different areas of the item. It comes with a 7 ft leash and some people use it to walk around with the bird on it's shoulder or to have the bird walk in the street as a person would do with a dog. Personally, I don't like the idea of walking around a bird on the street. Too many things can come in contact with the bird.

The other harness is called a aviator harness. It allows a person to teach the bird how to fly without hurting itself. It comes with a leash that's specially made as far a letting the bird fly without hurting itself. Add ons can be used to lengthen that leash. The first one is kinda passe. many people have had trouble with it and birds don't like all the metal attachments on it or the weight of it.

The price difference between the 2 is

 

first one I mentioned is about $10

second one is between $29 to $35

Look up the one called FLIGHT AVIATOR HARNESS and you'll see the advantages it has.
