aviator harness!

[Number6]

I got the medium and would suggest it. The collar on the small probably wouldn't be big enough for Kip's neck.

[dblhelix]

Ack! Now I'm really confused!! Anyone else have experience/suggestions on the sizing? Kip is on the small side for a femal CAG at ~ 365 grams. So would I be advised to get a "small" or "medium" size aviator harness? Just going by weight it would seem the small is recommended...thoughts? Thanks

dbhelix - I certainly wouldnt leave Elmo undupervised :-) I was thinking about having him on a stand just outside the open door of the grooming salon while I work inside about 3 feet away from him. Thats where I put his 'mobile' cage now during my work hours.

Number 6 - I have the medium for Elmo and he is quite small.

LOL, I still haven't tried the one I got for Josey yet. I am going away for the weekend and so it will be next week before I can try it. Pitiful, just pitiful.

Hi everyone, I am new to the site, although I have had great advise from islandgirl. I just got my grey 3 days ago. He is 3 months old and so much fun to have. I am going to get the harness as well. Trina Spain

Hello Trina and welcome to our family. Congrats on your new grey, you are in for an unforgetable experience, a ride of a lifetime and they are so much fun as you are finding out.

Maybe you will get to try the harness before me, I got mine several weeks ago but haven't had the chance to try it yet, planning to this coming weekend.

OH cool i want a harness for chico but they dont have them in my pet shop in malaga,They keep on saying that there going to get them in but everyweek i go in and they are still not in.But i might ckeck out 24parrot.com,i can still get one from there.

thanks for that.

[Guest briansmum]

i got mine from 24parrot.com greylover, although you are in spain i would think it will br pretty quick delivery. they are the real deal with proper packaging and DVD. i reccomend the red one purely because it matches their tail and looks rather fetching LOL (only joking, obviously the colour doesn't matter)

[judygram]

I have the red one too, but I wanted the purple one but were out of it. I am fond of purple but the red does match the tail feathers doesn't it, now I am glad I got the red.

I wish I had known about all this maybe I would have my parrot today.

[Talon]

Oh, I'm so sorry.....{Feel-bad-0002006A}

ok so what size harness did everyone purchcahse? Do I go with medium or large? It says medium for Timneh grey but congo is a bit bigger. Thats what I had a hard time to determine. Large or medium. I even want to buy roller skates but dont know if I should get medium or large. I mean they are not as big as a Macaw.Helpppp

[Guest briansmum]

medium for the harness, and i would say medium for the skates too. they only have little legs :lol:

[danmcq]

Medium Aviator Harness is what I purchased for Dayo, it fits pefectly.

[Pryde]

I got medium for Pryde, but it is a bit big. She only weighs 350 grams, so she is small for a CAG. She wears is though and hasn't gotten out of it.

[dblhelix]

Kip is small too at 365g. I also got the medium. I got it on her once and it looks like it will work (though maybe a bit big). She is tolerating it more and more, though after the first bloody incident I am actually following the instructions in the video and taking time to get her used to it! She will allow it to be draped over her now and remain quite calm, but she still may pull away so I want her to be even more comforable with it before I attempt slipping it over her head again... <br><br>Post edited by: dblhelix, at: 2007/08/22 23:39

[Guest briansmum]

looks like you need to weight your grey then if it's on the small side around 360 you may wanna get the small one, if it's a big birdie like my brian who's 470g the medium fits great

[CeasarsDad]

Since Ceasars Wings have not yet grown out I have not played much with the harness.. I did think that I would produce a video on the first time I try it on Ceasar.. It should be as funny as it's informative.. So look for that video.. If I have some time I will do it this Saturday, the 25th of August.. I might not have it edited and posted until perhaps next weekend.. But I will do this video to show everything what this might look like when you try it on your bird.. OK?

[lovemyGreys]

look forward to that one CD

 

Here's Alfie & Freddie with their aviator harnesses

i can't help but think that greys look so smart in their harnesses, and your's are no exception! great pictures!

[CeasarsDad]

Now that's an interesting take on the harness.. They look smart?.. :side:

[Guest briansmum]

yes, like putting a little suit on them.. i dunno maybe i'm just wierd not as in clever smart, but handsome smart.
