With the Aviator, other than just being a leash so your bird is not able to get away, it is designed to be comfortable on your bird while in flight. Hense the name. The part that goes around the bird's abdomen swivels around the bird so there is less a chance for the bird to get tangled up in the leash and so it can fly many different directions.

I'd have better luck dating Brad Pitt than I'd have getting Pita's flight suit on him.....he's not having any of it.

Keep trying Gayla. They don't like the process of putting it on but once it is on, they tend to relax and forget about it.

Here is Miss Chaska, pretty in pink!

it's Tazo's B'day son and i want to get him one...i think i'll end up getting him a feather teather, and one day i'll get him a aviator. Is a feather tether used in the same way as an aviator? like he can fly in it?

My baby CAG is very tolerant of putting on the flightsuit but once it's on he acts uncomfortable, doesn't move around much. He's really awesome and lets me put it on and off without a struggle - suprisingly enough - but with all that fabric he doesn't look very happy when it's on, and quite relieved once it's off.

I'm going to be getting him an aviator harness, I think he'll like it much better.

i got him the fether tether in blue! havent got pix, cz we only had it on him for about 10 seconds, on aye 3 mins
we squirmed out of it
how tight is too tight?
hes very tiny....barely fit in it
he hates it, any hints
i trick trained him into touchign it coz he is scared of new things
but i got him sorta used to it, but now he is petrified but will still peck at it
but putting it on him is a 3 person job! coz he is flightled he flies awya alot, its a bit annoying, once on him he did the whole roll adn tumble nad biting thing....not impressed!!!
any pointers? i also read they an get out of it...is this true! iw ould have never bought it if i kknew!!!
i dont want him escapeing, i will also try training recall (ive tried b4 but he is soo lazy to come nad he is sick of all his treats!)
