As the title asks, what size Aviator Harness do you use on your U2?

Off their website's recommendation, I went medium. the "head hole" is tight, and very difficult to take off.

At this point I'm wondering if I got too small a size, or is that normal? I may bump up to a large and sell this one.

Thanks in advance!

I use a medium on my BFA and i think it fits her perfectly. It is easy to put the hole through her head and easy to take off. althought it is a tiny tiny bit big on her but if you tighten it well enough, your all good ^_^

Just weighed her for the first time... 710 grams. Well....that explains why the harness didn't fit, lol

Medium is 425-600 grams, large is 600-1000.

Serves me right for not weighing her.

Interesting. Any idea how much your birds weigh?

Do you have issues getting the harness on/off over the crown?

Large seems to work much better, much less stress getting it on and off.

The only issue with the medium one I had was the size of the head hole, it was hard to get on over her head, almost impossible to get off because of her umbrella. Large fixed the issue. Training her to lay on her back helped too.

It may not be a much an issue for you. Like I said before, she's on the large side for a U2!
