Demonstration of the AVIATOR harness with macaws

[MultiSupernathan]

i love macaws sooner or later ill problely get a hyacinth macaw and this idea fixed my problem about playing outside with it

[DrPoon]

I would love one of these for my B&G!!!! Only problem is that she hates having any sort of strap wrapped around her. She literally freaks out and will bite with full force.

[Shadowblood66]

I am planning to get a raven somewhere in the future. Would this flight harness fit on a raven?

[Megan21527]

I love those macaws they are so cute😃💗💓

[Pikadono]

This looks like a great alternative to clipping, but it's too bad there isn't a size small enough for a budgie!

[TheSisma95]

@Pikadono There is

[5072053482]

[THECOLOME]

Ese pajaro no ve la hora que te descuides ara fugarse abusador , no ahí que ser un espero en lenguaje corporal para saber que no es feliz .

[lil2rowdy4u]

[RzXVeRSaTiiLe]

there sapose to b freeee

[flyingcockroach007]

Doesn't it hurts that bird? I mean when that girl pull the harness ? :/

[connor5041]

@flyingcockroach007 she didn't pull the leash is made of an elastic

[flyingcockroach007]

@connor5041 ohh thn cool :)

[Tsubakiee]

she (or he) was complaining the entire time you were putting the harness on lol.

[bario46cityhights]

i really like this video cuaz it help me out alot but the trainer knows wat his doing but the red macaw that bit him maybe u should try to coax him or train not to get the frighten cuaz the bite could have been more serious but i liked the video and helped me out but i think i shouldn't be talking but im just thinking

[SuperBuddy000]

Hi i got a ? umm how do you get you macaw to like ive tryed it on him more then 10 times and he wont wear it he bite an runs an gose crazy i need some help lol cus i really dont want to have to cut his wings again i hope you can help me. i dont have a aviator harness i just have one of those regular harness for birds. but yeah if you could just let me know thanks helena

[clubedospapagaios]

This is horrible.  Why don't you recall train your birdsand stop harnessing them? Harnesses are horrible for the birds.

@clubedospapagaios

I am very concerned about a hawk, owl, or kestrel swooping down and taking my bird. They don't call them "Chicken Hawks" for nothing. The leash gives me some ability to save my bird. I don't believe in clipping my birds flying ability either. The leash allows freedom with some safety.

[clubedospapagaios]

If they learn how to fly in the right age they can evade most of the predators. My amazons were chased several times and now they chase the kestrels out of our flying location. Please learn with Chris Biro how to do it with safety.

[BIRDANGAL]

@clubedospapagaios no harness are good for birds i have one for my goffon cockatoo and for my macaw

[BMSWEB]

I just purchased a harness from theparrotuniversity . . waiting for it to arrive now :) Hope they post it out soon

[fleckihund988]

poor parrot :(

[NightmareSkittlesz]

I need one of these...

Where can you buy them ?

[muppetspuppets]

this might be a good idea for the first few times before letting them flying completely free.

Most my birds get very frightened on their first flights and I've had to climb trees etc to get them back.

[CynderTheDarkMaster1]

0:54 Pawned by parrot

[greengrendel]

I'm worried about it tangling in trees!

[bario46cityhights]

@greengrendel ya seem thing here i have a question i want to get the selphur crested cockatoo to they sell those types of harness for them 2 cuaz there about the same size aren't they

[greengrendel]

@bario46cityhights Thank god parrots don't learn how to spell from their owners.

[ZElwood95]

can you get them for cockateils??

[velajennycool]

they sell them for cockatiels at bird supplies (dot) com

[MiaandKiwi]

yes they work for cockatiels as small as 75 grams:)

[litledevel15]

Wait they said the leash was elastic, what were to happen if the bird stretched the elasted and it broke bye bye bird

[tekinak007]

Its called quality construction and material type... not all elastics are created equal... its like rubber... rubber is incredibly soft and wears easily... yet some rubbers are some of the strongest materials around.. just like elastics.

I have never heard of an aviator harness breaking due to quality / age.

[xxJonnyCxx]

does it not hurt when it runs out of leech?

That pull when the lead ends surely?

[MiaandKiwi]

the elastic acts as a shock absorber preventing the bird from injuring itself when it reaches the end of the lead...

[SpacePope4]

clipping thier wings keeps them safer

[velajennycool]

clipping there wigs is not safe if their is an emergency were the bird needs to escape it wont be able to escape and it will die

[settembreee]

can i do this with every species of parrot?? like "cenerino"???

[bananatree94]

do they make them for small conures? because i have a green cheek and i usually never clip his wings because he dosent really fly. even when i take him out side he only free flys short distances around the tree's and comes back to me maybe the harnice will make him and me feel more secure for him to fly? plus his flight wings are the prettiest sky blue and i cant bear to get rid of them =)

[litledevel15]

yea when you go to the website that is in the info, the have sizes for small bird like cockatiels conures (green cheek and brown throated only) and other small birds

[parrotguitarist]

do you need to cut there wings?

And if you don't do it do they pull really hard?

[maj0rpawn]

you obviously know nothing about flight training a bird, or the psychological damage clipping causes. nor do you know the risks of have a clipped bird outside. stfu

[maj0rpawn]

should never clip their wings

[Amandah86]

You obviously dont know anything about parrots

[SpacePope4]

clipping wings keeps them safer, if they get outside u can get them and they know they cant fly so they wont fly away unless they have too

[velajennycool]

if u clip there wings they will never learn how to fly outside with out a harness the purpose of the harness is to teach them to fly freely and comback when called

[parrotguitarist]

finaly somting to don't take a brids freedome

[sk8ia]

JUST GREAT i love macaws so much and i dont even own one but they make me very happy .,every time i watch a video about macaws flying i get really exited :D well i just started saving for one hopefully i will get one for the next year oh even better xmas :D woooo

[smudgesquirt]

@sk8ia did you ever get your macaw? I see your post was 2 years ago... and you said in 1 year... i'm getting a baby blue & gold in a few months, i'm 12 :)

[sammymunir]

@sk8ia lol if you didnt get ur macaw you can always get a budgie there parrot just a bit smaller and they can talk and be trained as well :) and tthere only 20 bucks

[nixChips]

@sk8ia One? You need two and instead of this horrible thing a big cage, in which the parrot could fly.

[gabbyhall]

Gabby has one of Steve's Aviator harnesses. There's no doubt it's the best design, easiest to put on and the safest. Gabby is a Hartman bird and she visited Steve's birds just yesterday. ;-)

[Shocktreat9]

I just bought an Aviator for my Quaker.. I am real excited to get her out flying! We've been working on flight training commands all winter long!! I just hope I can get her into the harness without any problems. She's fiesty. this video's got me REAL excited, though!! I am going to buy a retractable leash tomorrow!!
