Has anyone bought flight suits for cockatiels online?
I'm looking to buy one for Ollie, but I want to make sure I'm getting it from a good place.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!
Steph.

There's an aussie eBay store which makes them and sells them, they're the aussie distributors of them. That's where i got Cookies.

I got mine from www.healthybird.net

Thanks for the links!

Also, what size is best for a cockatiel?

 

[Bea]

I would email the seller and ask, i think i have a small, but extra small would probably be better.

I was looking at the site, thanks for posting it I haven't found a lot of Canadian sites.

I personally like the avian wear the CaCa Cape was my personal favourite I think I need one of them

I just put a towel around my shoulders and use a clip to hold it there much cheaper lol

I know...lol I was just kidding when I said I needed one

Also (sorry about all the questions!) is it safe and secure to take Ollie outside in the flight suit?

From what Bea just told us in a similar thread it's best to use a flight harness since most flight suits are not designed for flighted birds and hook up with velcoro. see this thread http://talkcockatiels.com/showthread.php/s-1609.html?&highlight=harness

Thanks!

I don't think that's a problem as Ollie has clipped wings. He is very young and is used to being held and handled as well, so I'm hoping he will get used to a flight suit quickly!

It is mainly so that I can take him outside and on outings occasionally, as he seriously thinks he is another kid in the family!

 

[Bea]

I think he would really enjoy it if you take the time to get him used to it properly.

Ok, so I bought a flight suit from the link you posted Bea.
I got a white one, size small.

I can't wait for it to get here so we can start training Ollie to wear it!

Thanks so much for your help!

 

[Bea]

Be sure to post photos when you get it and Ollie is comfortable to wear it.

 

[Aly]

Yup- would love to see the photos!

 

[Rosie]

Awww... Please post pics of Ollie in his flightsuit.

 

[Steph]

I sure will! Should be here by Thursday.

it's a Canadian site? I could not seem to find where they are located. It looks good though. I wonder why there are not many Canadian sites.
