The unique, patented “poop-pouch” is a V-shaped
extension at the end of the FlightSuit.
It catches the bird waste as it lands, capitalizing
on that characteristic of bird poop – it
adheres onto whatever it lands on – in this
case inexpensive, disposable FlightLiners.
Meanwhile, the upper part of the pouch shields
and protects the bird from further contact
with the waste. It is a simple concept designed
to precise specifications to work properly
for each species of bird.

Yes and no; most “diapers” are disposable
while FlightSuits are not! The term “diaper”
is often associated with negative connotations:
messy, smelly, constricting. None of these
apply to FlightSuits, which are reusable,
attractive and sporty. Plus, with the addition
of a leash they are much more!

While FlightSuits can be worn for extended
periods, we recommend they be changed every
4 to 6 hours. The unique design of the poop-pouch
allows easy monitoring and disposable FlightLiners
make using the FlightSuit even easier! Simply
change the FlightLiner to extend the time
between changing FlightSuits.

Yes! One of the FlightSuits’ best features
is that they are indeed reusable – indefinitely!

Yes! In fact, if used correctly Avian Fashions’
Leashettes, Lanyards and AnchorLines will
make your bird’s time outdoors safer.
The following tips may be helpful.

• Make certain that the FlightSuit and
  leash are securely in place and properly
  applied.
• When you or your bird sense danger,
  hold the bird close to your body with
  one hand on the harness as well as the
  leash, securing the bird and preventing
  it from bolting.
• Never leave the bird unattended with
  the harness and leash on. It is not
  safe to tie the leash to something and
  walk away. If you need to set the bird
  down, try to be quick and hold the end
  of the leash at all times.
• Do not carry a larger bird on your shoulder
  while outdoors, you could get a face
  bite if the bird is startled. Instead,
  carry the bird securely under the crook
  of your arm like a purse, or hold it
  on your hand with your thumbs over the
  toes to prevent bolting.
• Never jerk the leash. If the bird does
  bolt, it will go to the end of its leash
  and then settle to the ground naturally.
  Don’t pull on the leash unless you know
  that the bird will land in danger (like
  into a dog’s mouth!).
• Inspect the leash before each use. Check
  to see that the snaps are working correctly
  and that there is no damage that may
  weaken the leash material.
• Buy a leash color that contrasts with
  your bird. It is easier to see a red
  leash on a white bird, allowing you
  to visually confirm if a snap has come
  loose.
• Consider using a cat collar around your
  wrist to secure the handle of the leash
  and prevent it from slipping off of
  your hand.
• Holding a bird with your thumb over
  the toes gives you greater control when
  you carry the bird and helps to prevent
  them from bolting from your hand.
• Be careful that you don’t catch the
  leash on a protruding object.
• If you feed the bird while it is wearing
  a leash, make certain that there is
  room for the crop to expand.

When introducing your bird to a FlightSuit,
it is suggested that bird owners follow
these simple
steps:

• Allow
  your bird to see the FlightSuit from a comfortable
  distance so that it may become accustomed to
  both the color and fabric. Minimum time:
  2 – 3 days.
• Over time,
  move the FlightSuit closer to the bird and
  cage. This process will be quicker for younger
  birds (less than 5 – 6 months old); longer
  for older birds. Minimum time: 2-3 days.
• Pet or caress
  the bird with the FlightSuit.
  Hang the FlightSuit on or near the cage, allowing
  the bird to examine
  the suit: Minimum time: 1 – 2
  days.
• When you’re
  both ready to test the FlightSuit, remove
  the bird’s food for
  2 – 3 hours; put FlightSuit on the bird and immediately
  reward by returning food or feeding. This
  serves as a positive reinforcement as well as
  a distraction.
• The following positive reinforcements
  work well while birds are
  in FlightSuits:
  • Offer plenty of verbal praise.
  • Give favorite treats: peas, corn, millet
    spray.
  • Make for quality one-on-one time
    away from the cage.
  • Treat bird to
    their favorite toy.
  • Take bird outside for special outings.
• Birds
  may nibble at the FlightSuit until they
  are accustomed
  to wearing it. To minimize the nibbling,
  you can use Bitter Apple on the
  FlightSuit.
