I thought this would be a better alternative to the big felt collars, which my African Grey chewed through in no time. Using the size chart provided, I ordered the collar suitable for both varieties of African Grey. My poor Timneh was tripping with every step, falling face first. The collar was too long for his body. Clearly, the size was appropriate for a Congo and NOT a Timneh.
It’s kind of early for me to see a difference. One of my birds is losing (plucking) feathers around his neck. I’m supplementing their diet with FeatherUp and OmegaGlow. He seems to be looking better.
My lovebird has had a mild plucking condition for many years, but in the last two months, it got worse and she started picking at her shoulder. I have tried many collars made out of felt, cotton fabric, and silk fabric, but she chewed through them quickly and I had to change them almost every day.
This Velcro bird collar is so much better. The Velcro was quite weak and my bird easily opened it, but after I changed it to a stronger one, it has stayed on her for 4 days so far. Her shoulder wound is almost 100% healed, and she will be so happy to take a bath!
Thank you so much for the great product. I also love the feather plucking tips they send out regularly. I highly recommend this collar to bird owners who have plucking concerns.
Vet recommended for Green Cheek Conure. Eats readily from spoon or mixed in chop.
Vet recommended for Green Cheek Conure who plucks discrete areas of her body. Weight is too much for her. Cant move, bumps into things, loses balance, and doesnt eat or do normal bird behavior wearing it. Draws more attention to preening and sensory stress. I dont like velcro, bird knows how to get it off and moleskin adds even more weight to an already bulky collar. Not hopeful this will be a solution for her. Trim to help it fit her. She fell over in it and I havent put it back on
Poor refund policy for collars specifically. Since theyre expensive its a huge loss if it doesn't work out or if one does work well its a big expense to continue buying new ones as they wear out. I wish I could spend what I spent on this collar on another Bird Supplies supplement instead.
Collar seems different than photo, fringy part doesnt have loft it lays flat
I hope this collar is more helpful to another bird. 2 stars it does stop mine reaching feathers but cant do anything in it
