Okayyyyyy. So I needed a harness. I invested in the Aviator -"the only escape proof harness". Nothing but the best for us. We skipped the Lindberg helmet and goggles however. (Looks like this model has the Gandalf Attitude.).
Amazon Prime's 48 hour delivery had me checking the front door like a kid anticipating Christmas. (I would have bought local but, given this is VT, there aren't many stores that need an inventory of bird harnesses.) This will be great. We'll be walking around town in no time. Package arrived! I excitedly opened the box and this is what I received. Hmmmm.
And it comes with a video. My mind went to... interesting places. Well, anyway, I'm told by the Aviator box that it takes 3-5 days for my parrot to adjust to the harness. Right now Gandalf runs away from the sight of it. I'm supposed to hang it on his cage so he gets used to it. Note to self: remove this when guests visit. Not sure they will believe it wasn't flung there in some 50 Shades reenactment.
