Hello everyone!

So, next October i'll get my feathered family bigger, two tiels and. Rosy bourke will be joining us. And since i will get them young i was wondering if you had any tip on how to introduce the harness without the bird panicking. I want my future birds to relate the harness with something good and i'm not quite sure how to do it xD.

Thank you a lot!

I´ve been working on that with my Quaker. I use play as a way of introducing him to the flight suit (I prefer the flight suit personally)

This is Penguin playing with the suit on his own, still a little unsure:

And here´s where we play:

It´s actually great progress that I´m able to touch him with the flight suit and touch his wing.
