More Bucc!!!!!

[Peta]

Just thought I'd have some more of Bucc enjoying the outside.

Don't worry Mama, I'm holding on tight.

I'll get the nasty snake, hmmmm maybe just look for a while.

What a hero he is.:07:

Awww! He's so adorable!!!

 

[Peta]

Thank you, he is my little darling,

 

[Lilly Bird]

He is so Cute! If we convinced Lilly to come out, she would fly away and never come back! How was he the 1st time he came out??

Hi Sarah and thanks,

Bucc being fully flighted I would never take him outside without his harness on, If I did he would be gone. I would never forgive myself if this ever happened.

He didn't like the harness at first but once I got it on him and we ventured outside then he did fine, the first few times he just sat with me and wouldn't fly or do anything, now that he's used to the outside he loves it and will spend hours out there flying around and having a real fun time.

Is Lilly fully flighted or clipped? Is she harness trained? If not I would try to work with her on getting her harness trained, it is a really safe and fun way to have your birds outside.

Nice, Bucc is awesome, how old is he?

Hi there, Bucc will be 2 on January 27, still just a youngster.

Lilly is clipped, and isnot harness trained. How do you harness train them?

 

[Peta]

With Bucc I had to wear it on me for a while so he could get used to it, (Greys are famous for not liking new things) then placed it on the top of his cage then held it up to him, then laid it on his back. It was a long process.

You may be lucky with Lilly in that she will accept new things, you would need to let her know that this strange thing is not going to hurt her and it will be fun. Maybe give her some treats along the way, Some birds take to it really quickly others take time. A friend of mine had parakeets and she puts a harness on her birds with no problems at all,

Where do you buy them? The harness.

 

[Peta]

Most good pet stores will have them. I got mine from here

You may have to go to a pet store so that you are able to see how big/small the harness is.
