Question Flight Suit?

I was wondering what other's experiences with flight suits has been? I have a year old Goffin's and I'd like to take him for walks or to the farmer's market, but the poops down my back makes me a bit more unapproachable than usual.

I realize they are something like a diaper, but how do they work exactly?

How much training does it take to get my Too used to it?

Are there any serious drawbacks?

Thanks in advance...

Experience depends a LOT on your bird and who you ask... A few people say it stresses their birds too much, some say they make the bird more 'snuggly'. I've seen video examples of both.
My suggestion would be to try your bird on a harness first before a full flight suit, but I'm sure someone else can offer experience.
