- Disposable diaper pads
Instructions
Conditioning the Bird
Condition the bird before trying to put on the flight suit by placing the suit near the cage in full view. Becoming familiar with a foreign object will ease the bird̵7;s natural wariness. Leave the suit around the bird for several days and allow the bird to play with it under supervision. Do the same with the anchor strap or lanyard.
Place a disposable diaper pad inside the suit. Pads are available where you purchased the suit or you can use a round pad designed to take off make-up.
Place the open flight suit on a secure surface and place the bird over it . Slide the straps up over the wings and then gently pull the wings out until the straps fit next to the body. Secure the suit with the Velcro fastener. If you are going to use a lanyard or anchor line place it between the fastener before closing it.
