Feather plucking is a common consequence of pet parrots being kept in captivity. To prevent this from happening, take a look at the Slip-On Cone, designed by veterinarians to protect mild to moderate feather plucking birds. With this collar, you'll get the best of both worlds - gentle protection and cozy comfort.

These bird collars support healing of:

• The top & underside of the wings
• Chest & back

The Slip-On Cone features a base that is two layers of lightweight fleece and a cute top fringy layer of colorful fleece that your bird can preen.

Made for mild to moderate feather plucking birds, it is may also useful for weakened or underweight birds (with proper supervision) that can't tolerate heavier bird collars. And, it is perfect for balding birds who may have trouble with body temperature regulation.

If you can't handle your bird, then you should have your vet help you.

1. Examine the size of the neck hole to determine if you need to trim it to fit. Neck holes are intentionally made small because you can always trim one to fit if it is too small but if the neck hole is too big, the collar would not protect your bird.
   
   
2. Sit on the floor with your knees in front of you. 
   
   
3. Place your bird in between your legs with the beak pointing away from you.
   
   
4. Hold the head stabilizing the jaw to prevent a bite.
   
   
5. Stick your fingers through the neck hole.
   
   
6. Slide your hand over your birds head and quickly pull the collar over the head. 

ALWAYS observe your bird for a few days to make sure that it can get around and go about its daily activities like walking, eating, and playing.

Trim To Fit: If the collar is too long trim it back at the bottom and add a few stitches at the seam where you cut it. If the neck hole appears too small cut notches up to the second seam.  Here is a visual that may help.

Please be advised: Birds that habitually pluck or mutilate themselves and those that have had this habit for a long time need more training and time to adapt to a bird collar. While most people experience success with our bird collars we do not guarantee that a bird will adapt to a bird collar, that they'll like it, or that they can't remove the collar. 

Washing: Wash in mild soapy water and lay flat to dry.
