Umbrella Cockatoo Sydney
I have a 1 year old Umbrella cockatoo, and have recently been attempting to use a flight suit on him. It has been 3 months now of introducing him to thr harness, janging it in his cage, letting him play wiyh it, and just simply laying in on top of him. Yet he still hates it I yried to put iy on with rewards, and he will just not have it.. he is not aggressive he does not biye but screams when I try to put it on him... Any suggestions?
Thank you, Sydney & Gwen

I havent done this with a 2 , but was able to with my Macaw. Im able to touch her all over [that helps] I put her out on a stand [and just did it ] I went slow with each part ,and put it on. She yelled at me :) But after we were outside ,I think she understood. Try it [I think your ready for the next step :)

If you mean the Flight Suit as in the Bird Diaper, might I suggest a Harness instead?

If it's a harness, do you have a video of trying to get Sydney to wear it?
