UnRuffledRx BeakGuard Bird Vest — Sizing Guide

Getting the right fit matters. A vest that's too snug is uncomfortable and stressful to put on; one that's too loose gives a determined chewer room to work around it. When in doubt, size up.

The most accurate way to size your bird is by weight in grams. Species listings below are a general guide — individual birds vary, and a heavy Amazon may wear the same size as a small Cockatoo.

Don't Know Your Bird's Weight?

Any of these work:

  • Weigh at home with a kitchen gram scale — put a perch on the scale, zero it out, let your bird step on
  • Ask your avian vet — they weigh your bird at every visit and can tell you in seconds
  • Google it — search "average weight of [your species] in grams" for a reliable ballpark

Choose Your Size by Weight
