Harnesses are not cruel to birds. I'm european and my bird wears a harness so I can safely bring him outside on walks and adventures with me (he loves it) rather than being cooped up rotting inside the house all day. I think it's more sad vice versa to have a bird clipped never able to leave the house but I ain't gonna get into this! LOL Plus, even clipped birds should ALWAYS have a harness on if being taken outside. Dogs wear a collar n' leash outside for safety and birds wear a harness. Quite simple logic
I'm european (hungarian) and cannot wait to move back when I can finally afford to permanently leave the US! I thought I wanted to move back to CA but the taxes there are a KILLER. I have 4 citizenships: american, hungarian, swedish and canadian so I have 4 passports
99% of my family resides in sweden/norway... many people in the EU have these harnesses for their birds (no difference from in the US!). I buy the suits online... even amazon sells them as do tons of website online here is just one of them Bird Harness | eBay ... the company I just bought my diapered flithsuit from also sells internationally: Avian Fashions: International Customers

Over here the harness is the standard, it's the suits that are seen as cruel. I agree with clipping but like you say it's a different issue to discuss elsewhere! I definitely want to try a suit or harness with my next feathered friend to get them out and about and even head to some shows to meet the bigger birds!
