Just placed an order for a flight suit for River! I'm hoping since he's still really young, he will take to it well and easily, wish me luck! lol I think it would be nice to be able to take him for little walks with us.

I'm hoping so too! Lots of patience, patience, patience, and perhaps a little bribery wouldn't hurt either lol.

The nappy type one. I liked the idea of a "poop catcher" if I decide to take him somewhere there won't be poopies on people lol

Can you provide a link to an online store, if nothing else I might be able to get Bob into one of those with less difficulty than the harness I currently have.

Thanks for the info; I checked out petco.com and did a search for a flight suit and came up with the following: Avian Fashions FlightSuits for Smaller Birds at PETCO; any suggestions on a size for a tiel?

That's confusing that they are suggesting two different sizes for tiels vs baby tiels. I ordered the small for my gcc. I would think a gcc and tiel would be similar size?

Nope, I just use a tiny dog leash. The one I ordered was 12 bucks. They have some there that include the leash, but I'd rather use the dog leash, its longer, and I use maxi pads as liners.

I order all of mine from Wanda....she is the bomb and the best on customer service...Plus she uses flight suits on her fids as well.
Remember when you get the suit to hang it near his cage for a few days where he can see it and get use to it.
I won't lie to you, he will put up a fight and try to bite but once he realizes it means that he can go outside, it will become easier and easier...
My hahns still puts up a fuss but I get it on him and once we are outside, he is in heaven....
I just use make up pads for the liners. I just love the flight suits...good luck and let us know if we can help in any way.

It came today! I planned to use makeup pads, or maxi liners in it, but it came with a whole pack of their liners, so that will be nice to use for a while. (when the site said it came with liners, I figured just a sample of one or two) I have the suit hanging from a perch outside the cage now, but River is currently too occupied munching from his veggie dish to care lol.

Yay! I am going to order another one for my ringneck, he was wild caught and then found himself going from home to home, and was also abused. He is very tolerant of being touched and such, so I thought in his old age he might enjoy coming outside with us, my amazon on the otherhand, well, were working on him.
