Hey, I am going to start a thread soon The parrot in my profile passed about 3 years ago. I learned about the Green Wing and I got one at 3 months old. Rudy will be 3 June 6th. Locally he is very much the celebrity. I used the info from this forum. It turns out it waaaaaas waaaaaaay easier than I thought it would be.
Now on the other hand. If I offer advice, I have no idea of whether you can apply my own personal experience. I noticed the flight harness trial and tribulation. My Rudy is free flighted indoors (with a harness on outside) . It is quite easy.
Set him on a chair back with the expanded harness on the seat covered with a light weight shirt material 8"x8"
Keep one hand on his foot , grab the shirt material with the other hand and drape it over his head.
Slip the Harness XXLarge expanded over his head.
Pull the loop back and push a wing thru the opening
Then do the other wing
Thats when I slip the hood off him.
I am able to then cinch it up around his waste.
Now I am sure I can make it look quite easy. Its probably best I take a video and show you in 45 second or less how easy it is... for me,, ok ending sorta funny comment.
Rudy runs from me when he knows full well we are going outside. it has been a struggle. What I don't understand is that he is so well behaved, talks a lot when we are walking out the door. yet he seems determined not to be harnessed. Ok Ive typed enough for now
