Questions about a harness for My African Grey.
She is 30 and really wants to “go for a walk” whenever I take the dog.
She stands guard by the door and flaps her wings which she does whenever we put jackets on.
I just need some feedback I guess.
I live in a rural area.
Dear Nancy
Harnesses are available for your parrot however, if your bird has never worn a harness before, at 30 years old she may not enjoy one.
If you look at most videos showing them being put on a bird, they are usually babies and baby birds are more adaptable than an older bird.
They take a little training, it is not just put it on and go outside.
Personally, I would go with a small cage on a cart or even a birdie backpack.
If you would like further help with selecting a harness or something else, please let me know.
Please find our carriers here:
I wish you the best
Catherine
