Reply With QuoteLovely picture of Harvey, he's one good-looking grey.
For those of you who are new and don't know - I am the unoffical Aviator Harness Pom Pom Girl! I had a trial and a tribulation getting the harness on last year (quick recap - I nearly needed therapy) but then after that - hey - he was the guy about town!
Well, obviously here in the UK it's too cold for penguins to go out (let alone tropical parrots) so stupidly the harness hasn't been used for months!
I have just tried to get it near him, never mind on him! Back to square one! I am so demoralised - and what you must remember - he's 15 months old now - not that sweet youngster he was - he bites!
So, moral of the story is - if you train your bird to use a harness - keep it up - even if it's just in the house!!!
I will try again - but it's such a shame - he was hardly in the house last summer.....!

Any exciting pictures you'd like to share? I hear that Pom Poms are the in thing this year in the UK.

What is that saying, "if you don't use it you lose it" and that is what Harvey has done, I bet if you drag that thing out now he will give you the evil look of all evil looks.:angry: I can't wait to see what happens if you try.:laugh:

Lol - pom pom girl!! That does cojur up an image!! Thanks for that Dave!!:laugh:
Alfie kind of took an aversion the the harness at the backend of last year so we quit it for a while. I tried it tentatively last week after leaving lying around her cage for the last month and early indications are good!
Like you Jill, I'm dead worried that she won't want it on - She was out a lot last year.
Fingers crossed for us!
Alfie's Flock!"Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible."
Tried again at the weekend - left the harness on his cage - he flew to it and threw it on the floor! I keep it in the drawer in the study and when I opened the drawer he flew off! Intuition says that I have a "used all summer" aviator on offer!! :laugh:

I am starting to wonder whether Harvey will ever accept his harness again. He was downright vicious at the weekend when I went near him with it, and lunged straight at me. I really, really wish I'd kept putting it on during the winter, but alas, it is too late now. So, top tip - keep putting it on, even if the weather doesn't allow you to take your birdie outside!
