How to Put a Harness on Your Parrot | Parrot Training

I’m having a heck of a time trying to decide.

 

  1. Which size Aviator flight harness to purchase for my Meyers Parrot who weighs about 80 grams.(for the record – most Meyers parrots wear an X-Small flight harness)

     

  2. Would buying a flight harness help after all?

 

This little parrot didn’t have a great home life when I bought her last July. She has since had a full vet workup in Aug.

Can You Recommend a Shallow Parakeet Bowl ?

Mary H. needs advice:

Can you recommend a shallow parakeet feeder bowl?

The one I have is 2 1/4 ” deep and the birds have to lean all the way in to eat.

Also, I can’t tell when the food is gone and just hulls left.

I tried an ‘auto feeder’ but the seed doesn’t feed down properly.

Thank you very much

Hi Mitch,

 

In response to the comment about travel cages, I have found a solution.

 

My Senegal parrot (Gonzo) did not like to hang out in a smaller cage.

 

So I got her a reasonably-sized cage that I can use for her travel or if she needs to stay with someone.

 

I can drive with it and strap the cage into a seat belt.

 

I set it up in another room and left the cage door open. She has started playing inside it and seems to like it.

 

Now, with COVID-19, I am working from home, and need it to be quiet when I’m on the phone.
