• This sturdy Kevlar "Bullet-proof" Vest interrupts severe feather plucking and bird self mutilation by protecting your birds' chest & back.
• DuraGrip® industrial strength hook & loop closure.
• For best results, combine this vest with wellness strategies and behavior modification.

Self Mutilating Birds Are Destructive

Kevlar is a relatively lightweight material that is so strong that it can withstand bullets. It also provides a barrier from sharp beaks. However, this bird vest may not withstand a vigorous chewer.  Use these strategies:

1. Spray the Kevlar Bird Vest with No Chew or a similar bitter daily.
2. Cover the Kevlar Bird Vest with a Fleece Bird Collar.
3. Replace the Kevlar Bird Vest if the Kevlar becomes exposed so that your bird doesn't ingest the fibers.

Always supervise your bird while it's wearing apparel. While a self mutilating bird can eventually chew this bird vest up, it takes a lot of time and effort. This buys you time to allow serious wounds to heal and to introduce other self-mutilation management strategies to fortify your pet's recovery.

The Kevlar Vest was designed to be a minimally restrictive alternative for bird self mutilation. The snug neck and adjustable fit make it harder for your bird to further injure its self.  Most birds can eat, climb, and play in this bird vest. 

Bird self mutilation turns into a compulsive problem. For the best recovery, use these strategies:

• Watch Cockatude 14 to educate yourself about bird self mutilation and learn treatment options
• Improve bird wellness
  
• Take care of all medical issues
  
• Begin ABA style bird behavior training right now

All size recommendations are approximate. We highly recommend that you weigh your bird in grams before choosing a size.  Put an end to bird self mutilation today.

Putting The Collar On:

This bird collar closes with DuraGrip® Industrial Strength Hook & Loop that allows for a wide range of collar adjustments and a better fit. Persistent pluckers may be able to open the hook & loop.  Try spraying the collar with a bitter spray or use duct tape on the underside.
