The smell of fresh cut grass, warm sun shining on my feathers, a breeze on my face; I CAN FLY. The AVIATOR is the Bird Harness for a reason. The Aviator Harness is the only bird harness designed to be Safe even for a Flighted Bird. We have the most experience confirmed and tested by over 400,000 birds around the world since 2005. Made in America by skilled Americans. We tried China but found it impossible to obtain the quality necessary to meet our high standards. Our twenty-one production steps, signed off by 13 staff members provides continuous quality control Good for all species of birds up to 40 pounds (18 Kilo) Custom sizes available. Healthy acclimated birds can easily tolerate a wide range of temperatures. The Elastic Safety Leash is PERMANENTLY ATTACHED because a detachable leash is only good until you go outside the house and your inquisitive bird figures out how to remove it. The Elastic Leash eliminates the SUDDEN IMPACT when your bird flies to the end of the Tether. The Aviator Leash Extensions and Aviator Flight Line attach for greater flying distance. PRECISE Engineering (+-m 5%) of belt and slide prevents the belt from tightening and squeezing your companion when he pulls on the leash while walking and flying. The AVIATOR'S collar is designed like a Comfort Fitting Shirt that comfortably hugs the neck and stays on the shoulders away from the wings. The Strong STEEL SLIDE is Powder Coated black to make them unattractive as toys. How exciting it will be when your friend has the freedom to safely Think Outside of the Cage? Very Light Weight. Smallest sizes are only 6 grams. Every batch of material is tested. Our custom high quality Knitted-Flexible strap material for larger sizes lays comfortably around the edge of the crop allowing your bird to SAFELY FLY OR WALK after eating. Very Soft Comfortable Ft for all size birds. Grooming is everything - No sharp edges - Birds’ skin is ½ as thick as ours and easily scratched. The strap material used to make the Aviator Harness is carefully chosen for a combination of strength and comfort. Welded, not sewn. Many parrots find the stitches attractive and become obsessed with removing them. The Aviator Design eliminates as many distractions as possible. All material is cut and assembled with the Ultrasonic welding process we developed. You will notice there are NO rough edges that can damage a bird's thin skin. Beware of Knockoffs. Imitation is the highest form of flattery and we are very flattered. Most knockoffs are made in China. Approximately half of our production time involves quality control to eliminate all sharp edges that can scratch skin, and very close material tolerance so the belt will not tighten and strangle your bird if it flies. The Aviator Harness is made from high-quality nylon strap material and steel parts. Our challenge is to use materials that are strong and damage resistant, but not so heavy or stiff to be dangerous for a bird to wear safely. This topic is covered in more detail in the package and on the video. For 20 years we and hundreds of thousands of other bird owners have tried every safe material we could find. We have even tried every knock of our design and have not found anything better. Suitable materials must be able to be made into a safe harness. Heavy material makes it dangerous to wear and during flight. Some owners use the Aviator every day and when bored some birds do tend to chew on the harness. Eventually a harness can become damaged and may need to be replaced. You can see hundreds of customer’s videos on YouTube showing many techniques to improve your birds’ behavior when wearing The Aviator Harness. Most parrots are accidentally taught to chew on everything. All their toys and entertainment items are made from materials that are similar to everything else in our homes. The fear of reprimanding and being accused of ‘Negative Reinforcement’ causes even the best parrot parents to fall short of managing this behavior. When it is acceptable to put a bird into a steel cage to control damage, the need to follow through is often lost. Just like we train our dogs, we need to train our birds what is not appropriate to chew on. Everyone is successful at teaching our birds no to chew our clothes, so we know it is possible if we have the right attitude. Work on teaching your bird what it is and is not allowed to chew on This knowledge will extend to the rest of your house. You will be one step closer to maintaining a lifelong friend. ## Features - Large Aviator Harness for birds weighing 600-1000 grams: Lg. Macaws, Triton Cockatoo, Sm.

I thought If nothing else I would use it to get him used to wearing it while he was young and if he chewed it up while learning that would be okay, because I would buy another when he is full grown. The one I ordered had said it was right size for yellow naped Amazon, so I figured it would fit him for a few more months since double yellow heads are a bit bigger...Boy was I wrong. In just the 2 weeks from the time I received it his head has already grown too big to fit. This is by no means the sellers fault in this, but my own.In the past I had ordered different types of harness for my cockatiels and although I liked the other kind of harnesses the each lacked the durability that I wanted for a larger bird. As for the fact this one is all one piece when others I had were harder to put on. This one is durable at least the harness itself. It is a very thick material and I feel like it would take a long time for him to chew it up if he ever wanted to, although I plan to teach him not to and so far he hasn’t tried to chew. The leash part think could be a little thicker. It’s thick enough and I would trust it for one of my smaller birds but for one like him I wouldn’t trust it not to last through a good chewing session. At the same time I don’t plan to have him in it without constant supervision to let there be a chew session, and I always have back up such as a bird carrier backpack. I also know I wouldn’t leave him unattended long enough to chew.I also love that there’s not all these complicated parts that make it take even longer to get it on as others I have tried out. And for a bird who still isn’t full grown I felt like this was much safer then others in being against the crop. It doesn’t pull in the chest area which I appreciate.We did have a blast the first time I got him in it and was able to take him for a walk around the yard to check the mail and it was nice to finally get him out without being in a carrier. He had fun talking to neighbors passing by, charming them with yelling out “hello” to them and he had me laughing with babbling away excitedly whenever he saw something new. I can’t wait to take him out again.He wasn’t too happy when I first put it on him even if we had been getting him used to touching his wings and being wrapped up with a towel. He did enjoy being out and now he doesn’t mind us draping it onto him while formula feeding, since his head doesn’t fit that’s all we can do with it now.I will be buying a larger one soon. This is great to have if you have the time to spend to get your bird to wear it, and it is probably the best made easiest one to put on of those I have tried. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Cockatoo loves it. *by on Reviewed in the United States July 24, 2026* Fit my Goffin’s cockatoo pretty well. He doesn’t mind wearing it so it must not be uncomfortable. It’s been pretty durable so far. He has bitten it but didn’t leave damage. The color purple looks really vibrant so it looks good on him. Good buy. I recommend. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for larger birds... good while it lasted for my goffins *by on Reviewed in the United States June 4, 2013* Update: Boo played with the clasp and somehow tightened this around his chest. When I loosened it and attempted to get it back over his head, he panicked. Now he's scared of this harness. It just takes once- so practice on a stuffed animal if you have to!I got an Aviator for Misha our Moluccan cockatoo, and it is MUCH easier to get on a larger bird, and 1-2 inches of looseness don't mean the difference between escaping or getting tangled like they do a smaller bird.When we were younger (10 years ago or so), my goffins cockatoo Boo, used to go out with me everywhere. I decided to purchase this harness after letting his wings grow for the first time and seeing how much fun he had flying around our bird-proof home. I can't bear to clip them so severely short again. I also read some horror stories on FaceBook and thru a local parrot rescue about clipped birds being stolen while out, flying off in gusts of wind, getting spooked and running into streets, etc. With the warm weather, I could tell that Boo was missing going out to eat and for walks like we used to.I purchased 2 grey Aviator harnesses for Boo and our adopted goffin, Arthur.The DVD didn't work with my Mac system - it appears to be formatted for TV sets without the option to play on a computer.Arthur is an exceptionally large goffins (around 400 grams, he is heavy boned and muscular), and it didn't seem to fit over his head very easily. I never did get it on him. He freaks out when his eyes are touched, and this couldn't fit over his big head with enough room to spare without touching his little bug eyes. I still have hopes that after he sees Boo getting so much attention with it on that he will tolerate it being slipped over his head. I might try the larger size.Boo, the goffins who I've had my whole adult life (13+ years) is smaller/more normal sized and the harness *did* go over his head. Once THAT was out of the way, this was easy to get on. He bit at me while I tightened it up, but it was quick to get on so serious damage to my fingers :-)Boo plucks, and he picks at this harness. I think he would pick at anything, though. At least he cannot get it off!Walking is awkward but not impossible with the way the leash hangs off the side/bottom. We're getting used to that.Getting it off his head is also a little awkward.As of this review, I've had it on Boo twice. Although he doesn't like it, he's accepts it, and I was pleasantly surprised that he let me put it on him again (and it was easier, the second time).He really had fun going for a walk and screaming at people in their yards, so hopefully that positively reinforced his experience. It was just like old times, except that he wasn't able to jump on strangers so easily! The second time he picked at it less than the first, so I hope that he'll start acting more normal with it on. Both times really tired him out like nothing else, and it's nice to have a quiet calm cockatoo! I really can't wait to start going out with him more regularly (Arthur will be jealous, and might learn thru observation).I would totally recommend this harness. It's quick and relatively easy to get on, and gives you amazing freedom to safely include your companion bird in more social activities. ## Frequently Bought Together - The AVIATOR Pet Bird Harness and Leash: Large Red - Bird Toys Bird Rope Perch with Bell Colorful Bird Chewing Shredding Foraging Toys Parakeet Toy Parrot Swing Climbing Standing Hanging Toys Bird Cage Accessories for Conure Cockatiel Budgies Lovebird - CZWESTC 8PCS Natural Wood Bird Perches for Cage, Wooden Parrot Perch Stand, Bird Cage Accessories - Hanging Multi-Branch Perch & Platformas, Bird Toys for Parakeets, Cockatiel, Conure, Budgie, Macaw --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.is/products/2820172-aviator-bird-harness](https://www.desertcart.is/products/2820172-aviator-bird-harness) --- *Product available on Desertcart Iceland* *Store origin: IS* *Last updated: 2026-08-14*
