Guest briansmum Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 i just wanted to say how fan-blinkin-tastic it is! i tried brian with his today and he took it really well, let me lift his wings straight away and didn't even seem to know it was there. so i took him straight into the garden. he had a few little flies but the stretchy cord stopped him from hurting himself when he got too far. what amazing invention :woohoo: if you dont have one get one!

Talon Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 I have one, but have been unable to put it on Talon yet? How did you do it so fast? :huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest briansmum Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 he just wasn't bothered by it at all i didn't do anything special, i was doing all the wing holding and unbalancing with him like it tells you to on the dvd and he was just letting me hold his wings out, no problems. i think it's cos he's so young, he just see's EVERYTHING as a game. :laugh: i don't think theres any help i can give you, sorry :blink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talon Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 That's okay, thanks tho. I'm glad that it was so easy. Keep it up, especially as he gets older, so he stays comfortable with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaz Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 Thats a coincidence...i've ordered mine today also from the same site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Monique Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 We have had the same luck, though I still took several instances to introduce it to Isaac to make sure he wasn't just tolerating it for me (but secretly hated it) ... if that makes any sense. Now the "trick" is to keep it on him regularly so he stays comfortable with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 I have been thinking of getting that particular one, maybe I'll order it tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest briansmum Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 they're deffinately worth it, its so nice to see them wandering around the garden with you confident they are safely attatched to you. i'd had it hanging next to brians cage a couple of times before i put it on him, maybe thats why he took to it so well.

dblhelix Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 I need to get one for Kip. Currently I only get her outside in her travel cage and she certainly loves being out in the sun, fresh air, listening to the sounds et! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splint101 Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 Hi, is there no way that they could clip loose or get deattched from the aviator while they are in flight? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Monique Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 I don't think so it is a solid one piece construction, there is no real clip between the harness part and the thin "bungee cord" that loops around your wrist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talon Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 I'm so jealous that you guys find it so easy to put on. If I touch Talon's wings, she attacks me!!:evil: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest briansmum Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 no splint there is no way it would come undone, i have sat and pulled and tugged at it like mad it's very sturdy and well constructed. it is chewable though, so don't let your bird think he can nibble on it! :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZoesDad Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 Hey all, After reading all the harness accolades , I went out and bought one earlier today! In fact, I just came back in from taking Zoe out into the backyard. She chose to stay perched on my shoulder but, I think, enjoyed the sun. I have to say, it's amazing how incredible she looked in natural daylight! My full spectrum lighting doesn't even come close to the sun. Thanks all for letting me know about this product. Putting it on for the first time was a bit unpleasant for her (she bit my finger twice)but once it was on and adjusted to her size, she just chewed on the metal parts until I took her out. (I let her see and play with it for about 10 minutes before trying to put it on her.) Outside, she went back to making her two note happy whistles (and never once tried to bite me)so I think she may have actually had fun! Her universe just got a lot bigger! What a great product!

Talon Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 Oohhh! You guys are making me sooo jealous!! Maybe I'll go try again.............I'll let you know if I have any fingers left!!!{Emotions-00020120} Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZoesDad Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 Talon, I hope it works out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talon Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 Well, after 10 minutes, she let me touch her head with it, that's about it. I couldn't get any further with her, but I'll keep trying. We made a little progress. :blink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Monique Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 Talon did you get the CD with your harness? It is really helpful for showing you exercises you can do with your bird to get them accustomed to the harness and the way you need to touch them to put it on, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talon Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 Monique, yes. I did. I guess I have to watch it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splint101 Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 I ordered mine but should take a while to get to South Africa. :angry: They dont stock that Aviator here in South Africa. It should take 4 weeks to get here. Max is so use to me touching his wings and playing with it, I lift his wings and tickle him under it then he make these weird noise, Guess he is laughing...:woohoo: Can't wait for the Aviator to arrive here..... Will let you guys know as soon as it is here... Cheers for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
