Feature
Aviator Harness Leash Extensions attach directly onto Aviator Harness wrist strap.Beginners should start with short Leash Extension to gain experience with your flight area. It is easy to misgauge distances and allow your bird to land on a tree limb or roof that is out of reach. Many birds that are learning to fly are able to fly up but afraid to fly down from high perches.
Leash Extensions are made from high quality nylon and rubber shock cords that expand as much as 100% depending upon the health and strength of your friend.
Do not connect multiple extensions together. The connection can become snagged on grass making it difficult for a bird to maintain flight. Mow grass short to eliminate as much drag as possible when flying.

Description
Always attach Flight Extension wrist strap securely to your wrist and hold adjoining section of leash in your hand for extra security. The Flight Extension clasp is small but strong. Because a bird will be carrying the leash when he fly's it is necessary to make every part as light as possible. Take care to carefully attach the clasp to the harness wrist strap without damaging the wrist strap material. A flying bird is carrying the weight of the harness and 1/2 the weight of the leash. It can take some experience for a bird to develop the muscles and cardiovascular system to fly without becoming exhausted. The Aviator Harness is escape proof however it is not damage proof. The harness material is very strong but with enough time a bird can damage the harness so it is necessary to check the harness each time it is used to make sure it is not being slowly damaged by your bird. Damaged harnesses can often be repaired or reinforced if a bird likes to cheew on a particular spot. Feel free to contact us regarding repairs and replacements.4.

Feature
SIZING is easy! We size our harnesses by SPECIES. If a harness doesn't fit, we will send out a custom-sized harness specifically for your bird. If fitted properly and undamaged, this harness should be comfortable and ESCAPE PROOFThis item solved challenges of other harnesses: no more pulling wings through loops (which birds hate), easy and intuitive installation of the harness (without a steep learning curve). Note: birds still need to be slowly introduced and HARNESS TRAINED! Please follow instructions. The harness is fitted over the neck; the abdomen belt closes up on the back. A D-Ring (for the leash) automatically slides from the front to the back as a bird is moving around eliminating SUDDEN IMPACT
The heavy-duty faux leather vest is made out of PVC-free Polyurethane and a comfortable Cotton Fleece backing. Unlike nearly all faux leathers, this material breathes just like genuine leather; it feels like leather, and is easy to maintain (simply wipe to clean)
The light, yet strong elastic cord is resistant to abrasion, mildew & UV sunlight. The stretchy cord can stretch up to TWICE its length. A Frustration-free Leash Handle helps avoid entanglement of the bird leash

Description
This item is also available in all-BLACK with a longer leash: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0751KNTGW?th=1 For the safety of your pet, please DO NOT FORCE the harness on a pet bird, which is likely to result in a STRESSED AND PANICKED BIRD that will fight to get out of the harness and that could result in injury. A pet bird needs to be properly introduced to the harness and TRAINED to VOLUNTARILY put its head through the head loop, and willingly allow its owner to close the abdomen belt up! Once a pet bird is trained on the harness, it will look forward to wearing the harness as it will associate it with GOING OUTSIDE and having fun. PLEASE FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS! That is the secret of success! Also for the safety of your pet, please *check the harness and leash* EACH TIME before use. Any materials that we use on our Avianweb Harnesses are strong and of the best quality we could source, but parrots have POWERFUL beaks that can chew through hard nut shells and even wood. So if given enough time, they will chew through any fabric and webbing on the market. *Your satisfaction is IMPORTANT TO US!* If the harness you get doesn't fit, we will CUSTOM-SIZE for your pet at no cost to you. The carabiner that we include comes in assorted colors (red, blue, green or silver). Unless we are contacted PRIOR to shipping to alert us to a color preference, we will ship out any of the colors.
