We're finally out walking with the Harness!

After about 10 months of putting the harness loosely on Bailey, every day, we are finally out walking with it on. About 3 days ago, I tightened it around his body. With much protest, growling and squawking, he has sort of accepted that he has to wear it. He tries to bite and chew it off, but, after a few minutes, somewhat settles down, and we can enjoy the walk outdoors. I know that eventually he'll accept it. He is glad when I remove it, and holds no grudge. I, on the other hand, am so thrilled to be able to take him out on a daily walk. Advice to anyone trying to get their bird to accept the harness, KEEP AT IT! It took 10 months of every day, sometimes 2 or 3 times a day, of just putting it on him for a few minutes. Don't force them more than they'll tolerate, but, DON'T give up!

How exciting for both you and Bailey! So nice to get out into the fresh air and sunshine and to see a changing environment. We have many hawks around here also, but it won't be long before HRH and I are spending time outdoors. We have Inara's old cage that came with her, and it will be rolled out onto the deck once it is warm enough. I am thinking, though, of looking into backpacks.
