I recently purchased a harness and have been slowly introducing it to pheonix. Today he put his whole head in the harness and freaked out after that.. I tried taking it off fast but he kept flying to my shoulder, and when I would bring him down to take it off he looked a bit crazy... well I finally took it off and I thought for sure he was gonna be scared of it, but I don't think he is because he didn't get spooked when I brought it close to him... Anyway I don't want him to hate the harness... I would love to hear any suggestions! :)

I would make sure the bird doesn't fly off... Like lightly restraint as in a hand on him...

I have played peek-a-boo with Max (with my hand) to get him used to having his eyes covered (that's handy for a lot of things).. Max doesn't like the harness, but I have large flying areas inside, and he might never need it... Just something I thought I needed to buy.
