Default Flight Suit *sigh*

I can put any fabric on Jack, cover her with a blanket (that took a looong time though) or towel, and she just accepts it because I play with her with it and she thinks its fun. Well, she must already know that the flight suit will be going on her even though she's never seen one before. She does not like it at all, she picks it up, and throws it. I had it next to her cage for a few days for her to get used to it through site. Then I had it by me during cuddle time so she got used to it from being by her but if it is on me, she yanks it off then climbs up onto me if I am laying down. If I try to pet her with it, she runs. If I keep playing with it and having it by me when she gets cuddle time, is there a possibility she will get used to it?
I am at my wits end, I want to take her outside soooo bad but I can't because she won't except the stupid feather tether or flight suit. Should I now try the Aviator harness? I need to do something, the weather has been so nice and I have been going outside a lot, I wish she could be going out with me. Please help me, any advice will be so greatly appreciated.

Does she have a favorite treat? Can you reinforce her with one? I have the same problem with Ollie so I won't be much help. I had much better luck with the aviator- probably because it's less colorful, less material, and easier/quicker to get on her, IMO.

Okay, I guess I'm gonna have to get the aviator too. I'm gonna end up spending almost a hundred bucks just on harnesses! grrrrrr
If she wont' except the aviator, off with the wings j/k
If she still won't except the aviator, I'm just gonna have to keep working with her. If I knew she would eventually allow having a harness on, I would be happier than anything. I am just scared that she will never ever get used to any of them and I can never take her anywhere unless she is in a cage or crate.

Some birds just won't accept them. Even though I can get the aviator on Ollie, she hates it. Even taking her outside right away doesn't really take her mind off of it. She picks at it the whole time. We're going to keep working on it, but I've pretty much resigned myself to the fact that we'll probably just be going outside in a cage for the most part.

Glider - I strongly recommend the Aviator. Not trying to be pushy, but we have them on sale now and you can get your 10% discount too. I have been able to put the Aviator on the most difficult birds. I wish you lived closer.

Okay, I'm gonna get it. I'll order it within the next couple days (when my mom will get around to it).
How do I let the computer know I am from PC? I know you already said it before but I forgot...sorry

If I can get the aviator harness on Jack, I will be soo happy!
So I would go with the LARGE harness, am I correct?
Thank you all!

When you go in and place your order, at checkout it will ask you for a Promo Code. It is WELOVEPARROTCHATTER - that will automatically recalculate your total.

Mila will wear the flight suit but it took a while for her to get used to it. What I like about it compared to some other harnesses is the diaper...It is nice if you are taking your bird places where poop might not be as easy to clean up...I have not started working with Rain yet, it has taken him so long to trust me that I want to move slowly with something new.

Let us know how things work out and good luck!

I really recommed the aviator harness. I think the problem with the teather is it is so heavy and bulky, where the aviator is just the opposite. Good luck, I hope you have some success soon!
