Christina Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 Okay, I have been working with Finni for about a month now with his harness...we just started getting it on fully this week, so I took him outside for the first time without being on the screened lanai or in his carrier...here is his picture. I hope it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christina Posted October 23, 2007 Author Share Posted October 23, 2007 OH, he loved being outside. I wish the pic would have come out a little better but alas, I'm no computer expert. He is doing very well with his harness, I'm very pleased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toni Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 where did u get the harness and what size it is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siobha9 Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 I bought an aviator harness size medium from 24parrot.com My bird absolutely loves it. She flies straight to me when she sees it, and ducks her head and lifts her wings while I fix it. The only problem with the Aviator Harness is you have to adjust it every time you use it, but its only one pull. Liath usually grabs hold of the clip and tries to pull it for me. I think it is a brilliant invention. Birds are meant to fly outside. I also bought an extension length so she can go further as I found she kept wanting to go further than the lead allows. The lead supplied is quite short. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danmcq Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 I have an Aviator Harness for Dayo also. We get it on him ok, but once on for a few minutes and outside, the leash cord seems to bother him and of course I suppose the strange new sights outside spook him too. I walked around our pool decking with him and when we got close to an incense burner (Not burning) wrought iron pole stand he freaked, flew until the end of the lease, the flew down and then just went in psycho circles entwining the leash cord around his feet :ohmy: Of course now the only thing he could think of was getting that leas from around his feet :-) It took a while to calm him down to where he didn't try to Bite us or the leash off. I finally distracted him with a peanut while he took his vengeance out on it ripping it to shreds while Kim quickly got his feet untangled and the harness off. WHEW!@! Boy were our hearts racing along with his :woohoo: Anyway, I let him play with the harness to ensure he is still ok with it, but haven't taken him out since then :-( I am not sure at this point that he enjoys the outdoors.....yet B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trina Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 Hi, I have the avaitor as well and Ying Mo just loves it. I can do anything with him at the moment. At first he was pretty scared when cars drove past but now after talking to him and warning him that a car is coming he has settled down. I have tried to extend it with a retrackable dog lead but he doesn't seem to like that. He just wants to sit on me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mosfatal Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 Ok when Chico was younger I tried the harness and HATED it I wonder if I was going a bout it worng I also hear that the new ones aren't as compalcated is that true. I guess what I am asking is there anyonne out there that try both types and had better results or does anyone have tips on how to get Chico to accept the harness better he loves being out side (I have a cage on the back patio for him) but I would like a lil more mobilty<br><br>Post edited by: mosfatal, at: 2007/10/24 19:56 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trina Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 I will have a look and see if I can find the video they give you with the avaitor maybe I can down load it here if it is not too long. You can then see exactly how it is.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
