I've been working on getting little Valkyrie harness trained so she can safely come and enjoy the outdoors with me.
I've already tried the Aviator brand harness and it did not work at all, or more so I wasn't comfortable with it. The collar opening was just far too small and felt as though the design was geared primarily to larger parrots and macaws. I still persisted and worked with getting her used to the idea of collar on, collar off. Doing practice approaches, head half in and then remove, lots of millet involved. But once we got to the collar being fully on and off, it's just entirely too difficult to slide back over her head and I'm not happy with it.
I've been looking at the AvianWeb brand harness as the collar opening looks larger and while the buckle system seems a little more difficult, i see where I could replace the slide buckle with a petite plastic bucke (like those on tiny dog collars) for easy on, easy off.
Have any of you used the AvianWeb harness? Or have any suggestions for other brands, preferably with a collar opening that's not going to squeeze an 80 gram cockatiels noggin?
