danmcq Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Haven't ordered the extra flightline yet. Just getting him used to the harness and going outside. The flights will be a little more down the road for Dayo. One step at a time. :-) The DVD is great and very informative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magicalem Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 kool well let me know if & when u get the flightline as I am interested in how it all goes... thanx.. Em & Sen...x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siobha9 Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 I have the flightline. But I actually dont use it much. Its a pain when she flys past a tree and then comes back from the other side! We seem to spend longer untangling her from the bushes and trees than actually flying! I am also concerned about electical lines over my fields so I cant let her fly there. I would probably have been better off with just the harness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Skuffy Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 Got my Harness the other day.It isn't the aviator, store has to order me 1.The one we have here is Premier Feather Tether,same thing without the vid...Only had it 2days and i can already pick Max up with it in the same hand,i tryed to lay it on his back lastnight.He didn't go mad but he growled went to bite it..ATM its hung on his cage nxt to his fav purch so he can see theres no harm..I'll keep trying, can't wait to get it on him..:woohoo: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovemyGreys Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 Keep trying Mark,introducing it to max slowly is best,you dont want to freak him out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 That was the advantage of the aviator, it came with a dvd that showed how to get your grey used to it and how best to get it on them, but you may figure it out before it comes, anyways good luck to you.

Guest Skuffy Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 I held it in my left hand for most of the night,picking Max up with my right,while he's sat on my shoulder i swop hands with harness and started to stroke him with the hand i had the harness in..He didn't seen to mind,just looked at it a few times then put his head back down for tickle lol...He;s been quiet today not been out his cage alot,they must have there off days like we do where they can't be bothered,plus hes been having late-nights,,,Max needs a Bed time i think# Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovemyGreys Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Mark he definitely needs a set bed time routine, from what you said the other day he is not getting enough sleep,greys require at least 10 hours a night if he is in your living room with you, perhaps try covering him or turn the tv down a little & dim the lights,ignore him if he is chating away .He will get the message eventually.

Hannah_Rae Posted April 5, 2008 Author Share Posted April 5, 2008 I am so glad it is finally getting warm. I really want to get an aviator for our summer time with Juj. She"s such a good flier. I can"t wait to take her to the park etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dblhelix Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 The Aviator harness comes with a 20-30 min instructional video and the clips of the Macaws are taken from the very video. Nice link though for people considering purchase to review Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sterling Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 Great information everyone. I think my Rosebreasted will like it too. She is the best flyer in my flock. Thanks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rheashard0919 Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 I haven't heard of the flight suit and will look it up and give it a try. I started my grey to get used to the bird harness at 4 months. While Nameliss doesn't like it and yells at me. She allows me to put it on with out any problem. Here however is a suggestion. I put a one pound weight on the leash, the circular type that doesn't open and then either wear it on my wrist or stick it in my pocket. I had a near accident with my first grey with dropping the leash. I also keep extra snaps with beads on them in my pocket and snap them to a key ring just below the leash snap. This distracts my snap opening grey. Sometimes I put cable ties there as an added distraction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
