In this Parrot Podcast clip, I’m talking all about Aviator harness safety—because “getting outside” with your bird should never mean gambling with their comfort or security. I sit down with the CEO of The Parrot University to dig into the story behind the Aviator harness and why it was designed the way it is. We also walk through the different Aviator harness options and how to choose the right size for your specific bird, because fit is one of the biggest safety factors. I also cover the training side of things: how to introduce the harness in a way that keeps your bird feeling safe, how to build comfort step-by-step, and what to watch for so you don’t accidentally create fear around the harness. Finally, we get into practical outdoor tips—how to set up safe, enjoyable adventures and avoid common mistakes that can turn a “fun outing” into a stressful experience. If you want evidence-based, bird-first guidance for harness training and outdoor time, this clip is a great starting point.
