Demons first trip/ loving new harness!

[ShellyBorg]

I bought a new harness a month or so ago from leathers4feathers.com . It is the large conure sized and at 10g for the harness and 5g for the leash it is a great weight for my senegal. I have been working with hair ties , putting them around his neck and really working on letting me move around wings. Today I took a deep breath and went for it. I put the harness on as smooth as I could and put him in the travel cage. We took the short trip into town and stopped first at the auto parts shop. I put the lead on while still in the cage then took him in. He did great, we went to In&Out next for some fries. people went nuts over him! Next was Michael's for some craft supplies, then off to Pet Smart. He did great and loved it! After he found out we where moving around and going places he was almost helping me attach the lead! LOL When we got home he did not fight and was a great guy when I took it off. He did grab a sip of water and went right to sleep!

Awww!! Very good!! I bought a harness for Meiko and I need to start working on the hair tie thing with him.

What an awesome success story, Shelly!!!

Are you happy with the harness? Is it fairly easy to go on and off? I'm only asking because I want to give it another shot with Niko (AND Ripley), but I chucked the harness I had a few years ago, as I was making absolutely NO progress with Niko, and ended up getting a pretty good bite when I had to take it off.

Very easy on and off. I am very happy with it. I was worried about the leather because Demon has a razor sharp beak but he was unable to chew it up.She custom makes them to your breed and if they do not fit she makes it good vary fast! This mean no playing with buckles while being bit! The leash comes off so in and out of travel cage is very easy. I am ordering one for each of my birds. I will be ordering the wrist part next time but you only need one as you attach your leash to it.

Thanks SO much for the info, Shelly. I think I'll order from her and see how it goes.
