Those are some beautiful looking "amazon chicks" :confused: . I think that all breeders should harness train their babies or at least introduce the birds to them as it will be a great way to keep the bird happy and healthy. Absolutely love the photos. :D

Taco: female cinnamon pearl cockatiel - hatched: ~September 2013, Gotcha date: Nov 29th, 2013
Tiki: Male yellow-sided green cheek conure - hatched April 10th, 2015, Gotcha date May 24, 2015
I wished Tiki's breeder harness trained too. We brought him home at 6 1/2 weeks old and tried the harness. We put it on ok and went for short walk around block but he was scared stiff and struggled when we tried to take it off. So much so that we were afraid to hurt him. We tried it again one other time and can tell he really doesn't like it :-(. Will just stick with the PakOBird.

Have an awesome WBC right now. Hopefully a beautiful African Grey down the road.
Fully agree!! Harness training should start when they're babies.

That's awesome! I wish my breeder would have done that with my little guy too. I have been trying for probably 6 months and he still doesn't like it on his neck for more than 5 seconds before he yanks his head out!
