Great picture. My Dexter, CAG, won't let me get near him with a harness. He is such a monkey!

very nice. Glad you are able to get a harness on him. I've dealt with so many horror stories of lost greys because they think "my bird wont fly away"

Dexter is young right? I think a harness is something that has to be started when they are young. Mine run from it. Beautiful photo and Looks like fun had by all.

I put a harness on all my birds when I hand feed them. That way if the when they go to a home all the person has to do is get the harness. They are also trained to go to a whistle before they leave. Any of them that want to learn tricks are taught that as well. That is what seems to get people to get them. That & the free pet boarding for my babies. The lake was this summer. I take babise to play in the lake when its warm outside. I have also harnessed my adult ekies (not an easy task). We had the picture painted for the wall.
Still no luck with Sammy. Sammy is still freeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sammy would rather starve himself than eat inside the cage.

I just can't harness train all mine. So, I have a wonderful back screened in porch that I take them out to in the summer to enjoy being outside.
