Does anyone else feel like the head loop on the Aviator harness is SO teeny tiny (I have the Extra-Small)? I have the one meant for Quakers, but I can't imagine my guy willingly putting his head through that thing. He will get his beak in, touch the target stick, then pull it back out. I don't see how his head can fit in without it dragging on his eyes, though I bought the harness meant for Quakers. I am wondering if I should get a size up, at least to practice. I just don't know how to get past the step we are at, where he will stick his head in just enough to touch the stick then jerk it back out. If I hold the stick farther away, he will walk away rather than try and get it. I've also tried holding a nutriberri for him to munch on and slowly pulling the harness over his head, but he hole is too small to do it without him noticing. Man, I know you can't rush this stuff, but I hate being stuck on a plateau. I really want to take him outside in this short time where the Texas weather is beautiful, but it may not happen. I wish I had someone who has harnessed trained a bird before to help me!!!
