1st, Choose The Bird Collar Style
- Cone Collars attach around the neck and drape down to protect the torso. Most birds tolerate a cone collar well.
- Neck Collars restrict neck movement and protect hard to protect areas such as legs & feet, the vent, and under the wings.
- Sturdy Vests fit snuggly on the torso and protect the chest and back and are designed for chest and back mutilators.
