Yes. This one's too small for Emma and she's my most strong willed and no shame in biting me parrot.I guess Emma is out of the equation for the harness?

Too small for Emma yet OK for Mabel?Yes. This one's too small for Emma and she's my most strong willed and no shame in biting me parrot.
Well I haven't exactly put the harness on anyone yet but according to the specs.. the small is good for Sachi and Mabel. It would be too small for Emma.Too small for Emma yet OK for Mabel?
If Mabel can fit in a harness that would be comfortable for a Pionus, she is indeed a small Severe. From your description, it seems like she's just a tad larger than a Noble. I'm still trying to envision that, I'm used to seeing Severes in person like this.Mabel's very small. I have small hands and can hold Mabel on her back in one hand.

ha! So far so good.And how is it? Comfortable? Did you panic putting it over your head?
Some even bigger than Emma by a bit. I tell you no joke I saw a Severe beside a CAG (about the size of Emma) in a store once, and the Severe was a bit larger excluding his tail feathers. The other Severes I saw were close to this one in size as well. That's why I was a bit confused by Sachi and Mabel being similarly sized. I knew Mable was small but didn't know she was petite.Wow! I'm just looking at the size info on the box and it recommends medium for parrots like Severe macaws etc. 450 grams - 600 gram range.
Those are some HUGE severes even if they start at 450 grams. As big as Emma about.
I think it's both, Saemma. She's the smaller variety and her nutrition must have been less than optimal early on, unfortunately.Mabel is really really petite. Not sure if its because of genetics or because her diet wasn't great so early on in her life.
If she was the size of the Severe I saw (~20") I think you would likely have been thinking twice about bringing her home, but that would have been bad for Mabel if you did decide to pass her by due to apparent size. I'm extremely happy you took her home and she is blessed by having you as her mom.If she were too big I would have been intimidated about bringing her home.
Imagine, the small is what is recommended for Capes too I believe and with the size of their head/beak...that will be an interesting experienceI'm sitting here looking at the portion of the harness that goes over the head and boy it looks very snug.
It's true, it is NOT very fun getting it on or off but thankfully Lola tolerates it now.
