Jazz's finally in the

[bethn]

After 2 months and 3 harnesses, we finally got Jazz into his Aviator. His original AH had too small a head opening, so we tried the Feather Tether. In his size the FT is kind of a one piece, wrap aroundt he neck, clip, wrap around the wing over the back, around the other wing and clip in front kind of thing. He was alright with it until we got to the clip in front part, and then he wasn't having any of it. :(.

After visiting the Paterson Bird Store, and spending time with the Greys, it dawned on me that Jazz's head is bigger than some of the Congos, and much larger than the TAGs so the TAG sized Aviator was not the ideal fit. We ordered a new larger size Aviator, and after working for a week today was his first trip outside
Just in case he refuses to wear it ever again, I took some pics to savor the moment.

Congrats on finding the right size. It must be nice to be able to take him outside now that the weather is getting warmer.

Beth, Jazz is so handsome. I'm glad you got him in a harness. It is a nice option to have along with his little flight cage.

He makes me really, really want a cape parrot.

LOLOL Tom, you never met a bird you didn't like! :)

He's handsome and doesn't seem bothered by the harness. He looks like he enjoys the outdoors. I've been able to get my birds outside a little lately. Some birds take to wearing a harness a lot better than others.

True, I really like most birds but I really, really want a cape parrot.

There is a subtle difference I think you missed while laughing and mocking me.
