SarahDavid Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 I got the feather tether harness for Noah a while ago but i noticed there are too many buckles in it and they are kinda big. Do you think i should continue using it or should i buy Aviator harness ? Zahra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tycos_mom Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 I think that its personal prefrence as to what harrness you use. I know many people prefer the aviator but if your bird is comfortable with the feather teather why change. My motto is if its not broken why fix it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SarahDavid Posted March 16, 2009 Author Share Posted March 16, 2009 hmm i experienced he was actually annoyed by it that's why i didn't use it anymore but was wondering if there are other problems with aviator like with the fether tether..

danmcq Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Any harness will annoy them for a while. If you don't have any issues getting it on him, stick with it. They only draw back to the Aviator Harness, is you must get a small opening over their head. I must say this is challenging at times and if your Grey decides it does not want it on, there is no avoiding a nasty bite. Now I check out my Greys body language very carefully before even trying to get it over his head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SweetFX Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 I am working with Rexxy with the Aviator Harness. We are going slow, I can get it on him and then take it off in a couple of mins. I am glad i went with the Aviator, it is easy for a first timer like me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhorje Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 My Grey has no problem with Aviator. Being a busybody, my Grey always help me to put that on her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chimaysmommy Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 I'm training Chimay to accept the Aviator harness right now...Working with him on the collar first with one wing in. I've found that my bird will do ANYTHING for a pine nut. We've gotten him to the point where I just hold the harness up with a pine nut and say "put your harness on" and he stretches his little turkey neck out and lets me slip it on.

vgladden40 Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 We got the aviator harness. I was more afraid of putting it on him than he was. I watched that dumb video a gazillion times, but it was a cinch to put on Moose. My biggest problem is that he likes to chew on it. Grrrrrrr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvparrots Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 I started with the feather tether and Ana Grey totally hated it, chewed it all to pieces. She is doing much better with the Aviator Harness, no chewing, and I like it much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tycos_mom Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 I don't use either one althiough I do have a feather teather harness I don't use it. I found a very nice little harness that the birds except easily it only weighs 5 grams and it easy to put on it can be worn with the leash on the back or front and so far Adaya and Fergie don't try to chew it to much. The harrness I use is called a lil critter harness its a figure 8 harrness and it only has one tiny clip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pixiexoxo Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 Aviator all the way for me. I did have a fether tether but had the same problem with the buckles being 1) too big and 2) too bloody fiddly!! Biggles loves his aviator and I managed to train him to wear it and had him outside with it on within 2 weeks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
