HOW TO TAKE YOUR BIRDS ON A WALK AND A DRIVE
HTML-код

- We think taking your birds out for a walk and a nice drive around town is a great way to socialize and get some much needed vitamin D! It is also a great bonding opportunity and family fun as long as it is done with safety in mind! Here are some things we recommend:
1. Have a harness/ flightsuit for your bird at all times
2. Have window perches on the window so they can see the world pass by while you are driving
3. NEVER have your bird ON YOU if you are the driver
4. Bring a small traveling cage with some water, some sort of portable perch (we use a basket), and a birdie blanket, especially for young/ rescue birds
5. Keep them on a short leash
Thank you so much for watching and please subscribe to our channel for more parrot videos!
I was wondering how I would take out my new birdie! It's so cool that there are harnesses!
I just put mine on my shoulder and we go but i am planning on letting both of my birds wings grow back out so i might have to get a harness for them, i have a green cheek conur and a linni:-):-)
@@pixels4331 Did you get one?
@@sunnypeach1328 Haha, this comment is so old! The place I went to ended up having no green cheeks available, and I ended up with two lovely Suns :)
Awesome video. Thanks for all the pointers

I also use the flight suit for my 2 birds ! I LOVE Them ! Paco my jardines parrot was actually a model for them . He was modeling the smaller hoodies (the new Halloween hoodie and the zendoodle hoodies)
lovely vid . i also use these flight suits and avain harness and wouldnt be without them now , the flight suits are so usefull , no mess on you and they look great and as you say the harness gives you full controll
Yes. Even I have Conure They are really Cute & Smart. But there is a small Story behind my Bird.
Thank you so much 👍❤️🔥
I'm taking mine out to Halloween in a traveler cage and I'm going to be a pirate. If it's cold I will bring a blanket.
How was your experience on Halloween?
It was ok we didn't stay out for to long anway
Hi I just watched your video of the car ride. Wow, I never took my previous birds out, but you have inspired me to try it once my babies are use to us, (only had them for a month now). How long did you have your birds before you took your first ride and where they really nervous at first? tx
Hi Camille, we started harness training our birds as soon as they allowed contact with us, because the process of harness training itself takes 1 month or longer, I believe this ranged from 1 month for our GCC and Meyer's parrot, and about 4 months for our African Grey. Even if we are just taking our birds out for a car ride, they are always in a harness. None of them were very nervous at first BUT all of them would get cranky and tired in 10 minutes or so the first few times they were out. As we started taking them out on more walks they were able to really enjoy themselves and stay out as long as we will let them, haha!

Liked your video...thank you
I'm so happy you liked it loveparrots sherry!
Btw love your birds:-):-):-):-)
Hey Kelly! Best of luck in getting your fids a harness, I definitely recommend them, even if your bird is clipped :)
Several of my parrots live being in the car & looking out the window. but I do have a few that need to be in a cage below a window for if the do look out they get car sick.
I didn't knew about the bird towel to hide in.... Does it works for lovebirds too?
Hi Mickji! A bird towel will work on your lovebirds but remember that love birds are TINY! You do not want to suffocate them, so you want to be extra careful.
could you post the link of where you got those harness's
Hi Patrick! All the harnesses in this video were purchased from Flightsuits: www.flightquarters.com/bird-diapers/category/flightsuit-bird-diapers.html
Flock of Five thank you 😊
I live in England and their are hardly any shops with bird supplies
We put our bird in a puppy back pack
How old is your Meyers? & What size flight suit did you get? We have a 3 month old Meyers, and I am still struggling to get him to put the suit on haha
Hey pls help me my family is going out for a long trip but I m worried about my parakeets I means how could I take them wd me the main problem is wd water &food while driving in a car the food &water can be spread over plz tell me something about a machine
What size flight suits are they wearing?
What breed is happy??
How can I take my finch outside is there any harness for them??
Parrots should be in safe carriers while driving. This is really dangerous. Sudden impact while driving could be deadly for birds, especially when they are right next to the windshield.
The Parrots Voice yeah... I’m pretty sure they know what they are doing...
@@Ivan76 I don't think they do if they're doing that.
Good point.
Im thinking of buying a leash for my green cheek, but I do not know if the conures are ok with it. :/
Jeff Hg For most birds you are going to have to train them to get used to it. They aren’t going to just let you put it on them. There are many other videos about how to get them used to it. ;)
OMG i have an african grey parrot
:)
What size do you recommend using for cockatiels? (Aviary or the bird flight one)
For both brands, they have guidelines on their website pertaining to specific species of birds (including cockatiels) - for all 3 of the birds featured here, their recommended sizing worked perfectly, so I would suggest using their suggestions on their website!
I wonder if it would be possible to design a road-safe way to transport birds by car. Putting them in a cage or on a perch in the car could result in severe injury in the case of an accident. A cushioned "car cage", held in place on one of the seats could be a safer method, but no such thing seems to already exist.
Celltei has some bird bags that can fit in the seat of a car and strapped in with the seatbelt.
Wait how do you put that on them???
Do you know where to buy one for a budgie cause I really want one
It will really depend on your country. We are in Canada so the stores may not be similar.
you should make a video about the flight suit !
I have not clipped my lovebird's wings, are flight suits safe for birds that are not clipped for outdoors use? can they fly very forcefully and open the flightsuit?
sefrzan I use an aviator harness on my sun conure. It has a long leash and he can fly around with it well.
My budgie loves to come outside but didn't know how
Do you think aviator harnesses are better? Because the ones you have seem bulky.
marquise Washington Hello again Marquise! Super good question and one that I had to test out myself. We also have aviator harness for all our birds, yes they are much less bulky and we tend to use them when we are going for a short walk on a hot day. For longer activities like a drive + walk we found for our birds that they prefer the flightsuit (at least from what I can see they pick on it less and are less cranky by the end). BUT if you read different forums you will realize each bird has their own preference, some birds only will use aviator harnesses, some only the flightsuit etcetc. I usually recommend they get both and see what their fids like in different situations
Good video. Would be better if from the start you'd give the bird types in addition to their names. They're ALL gorgeous by the way! 💜
Thank you, and what a great suggestion! Will do so from here on.
What kind of parrot is lemon?
He is a Mayer's parrot. :)
Not good to put a bird in the front. Good that the bird isn't standing near the airbag opening. Air bags will blow out at 200 miles per hr. In the past, there was a small infant which was decapitated from an airbag explosion. It's much safer to put the bird in the back seat. You never know if some idiot slams you from behind because the driver pays attention to the phone, rather than the road. Just like I've seen people put their legs up on top of the airbag while the other person is driving. Accident is waiting to happen. It's better than safe than sorry.
What kind of bird is Bella?
African grey
African Grey Timneh. She is smaller than most Timneh's and her personality is on the friendlier end. But she is not a Congo African Grey. :)
African grey lol
Wäre so you bis those Things??
Love the video , can you help to get a lead on my parrot
Is lemon a pionus?
Mayer's Parrot.
What kind of bird is lemon?
Lemon is a Mayer's parrot.
Can I just put them in a pet carrier
You definitely could. We also have a carrier from Celltei at this point in time.
Where did you get the harnesses from?
Dee Lawson(Ik I am late but) if you are looking for a harness I am pretty sure they are a lot of them on online shops (for example amazon)
I love your videos. However, all birds should be in carriers while in transit. If there was even a small accident or impact, it could be very dangerous for the birds.
Exactly, its really kind of stupid that they're putting them in the front like that...
What type of bird is happy? Plz comment if you know.
Happy is a yellow sided green cheek conure :)
I had no clue they made car perches. I tried putting a harness on my quacker. He cursed me out in bird language 😂
Ha! I am sure our birds *curse* us in bird language as well, we just pretend not to understand :P
What the heck is that thing on the parrots?????? 😂
Its called a harness...
I’m getting birds tomorrow cuz of a dare and my parents don’t know ;~;
You shouldn’t get a bird because of a dare, you should make sure you could care for it and do some research on it as well. It’s not smart to get a bird because of a dare :/
That is absolutely disgusting. You don’t get an animal because of a dare. Birds are emotional, smart, and can easily out live you. They are more family than just a pet.
Thats sick, stupid, and disgusting. You're disgusting.
First of all, WHATS WRONG WITH YOU??? You better know how to take care of them. You BETTER treat them like birds and love them.
Second, what kid would get a pet without their parents permission? You're horrible.
To be honest, its really stupid to have your bird in the front like that. If you got in an accident, the bird would die for sure.
