Check out video comparing my new flightsuit sizes. Tiel "fashion show"? haha

Not sure if you recall my recent post about the new flightsuit I ordered to replace my old worn out suit... but I buy all my flightsuits from Avian Fashions (they are super nice and the owner goes above and beyond to make you happy!).

They changed the sizing of their flightsuits so the new flightsuit I got was way too BIG/baggy. Normally my tiel always wore size MEDIUM but now since they made their sizing bigger the size SMALL fits best. They sent me a size SMALL and an altered size SMALL to make it narrower than the regular size SMALL.

The regular size SMALL (rainbow colored suit) is the best one? It certainly fits much better than his old suit :D and the HUGE really baggy suit I returned to them where the shoulder straps were literally falling off!

This is the HUGE flightuit I had to send back... it was so baggy he kept getting his feet stuck and the shoulder straps were far too loose, not safe for outdoor use... it was so baggy the suit was irritating him:

Are you ordering it for a tiel? If so, they definitely changed their sizes... bothh my tiels used to wear size MEDIUM so that's what I ordered from them recently to replace my worn out one. I was very surprised when I received it! LOL it was HUGE on my tiels... that's when I realized they had changed the sizing. Now their size SMALL fits best and ironically I now have a suit that fits even better than their OLD flightsuit! :)

... so their new size SMALL is actually better than their OLD size medium and their NEW size medium... this might not be the case for your birdie but it was for mine.

The owner of Avian Fashions is so nice they sent me a sample altered suit to test out... but in the end the winner is the rainbow colored suit... do you guys think so too??? The zebra suit fits but the rainbow suit fits also and is a little looser but still not baggy... so that is the winner?

Thanks!

So cool! You have Ringnecks? They are such interesting birds... love them! :) I would double check with them because, who knows, they might have ONLY changed the sizing for tiels or whatnot.

I can't wait to buy this Island Splash (velour) flightsuit: Island Splash Velour FlightSuit | Avian Fashions ... I'm obsessed with bright colors and that is bright! LOL

Lol well considering I'm writing this from a hospital bed as they decide whether or not to do an emergency C-section, you might not want to wait on me if you are in any sort of hurry; I'm sort of distracted

Cool! I also like the rainbow suit :) I like the fit of the rainbow suit the best which is their regular small. The zebra suit is also a small but they altered it to make it more narrow and a tighter fit than their regular small just so I could test it out on Rascal. They know 'Nut is a slightly bigger tiel than Rascal so the zebra suit is way too small for 'Nut.

... but their regular small size will work for my tiels and I'm going to buy their super colorful velour suit today: Velour FlightSuits? - Avian Fashions

I also cut the diaper part off one of the suits and then use it as a harness without the diaper. It is MUCH easier to put the flightsuit on then so I used to use this altered suit with the diaper part cut off so it was more like a vest LOL) when I first started getting Rascal used to having the suit put on him. The suit might get too baggy when you cut the diaper off but it's super easy to sew it together a little on the sides to make it fit better and then cut off the excess.


I will make youtube video to show what I mean :D
