What Size Velcro Cone Collar Does My Bird Need?

Choose your bird's collar size by weight in grams. Bird sizes vary, even within the same species. Weigh your bird for the most accurate starting point, then review the collar measurements below.

Step 1: Find Your Bird's Weight

Match your bird's weight in grams to the recommended Velcro Cone Collar size.

XS

50–100 g
4" diameter
Parrotlet / Budgie

Small

100–299 g
6" diameter
Cockatiels / Small Conures

Medium

300–499 g
8" diameter
African Greys

Large

500–700 g
10" diameter
Umbrella Cockatoos

XL

700–1,000 g
12" diameter
Moluccan Cockatoos
Between sizes? If your bird is near a weight boundary, review the collar dimensions before choosing. Weight is the starting point, but the collar must also fit your bird's neck and body proportions.

Step 2: Check the Bird Species Size Guide

These are common starting sizes for the listed birds. Always use your bird's actual weight and the collar measurements to confirm your choice.

African Grey Medium–Large
Amazon Parrot Medium–Large
Budgie (Parakeet) Contact Us
Cockatiel XS–Small
Goffin's Cockatoo Small–Medium
Green-Cheek Conure XS
Lovebird XS
Macaw (Blue-and-Gold) Large–XL
Moluccan Cockatoo Large–XL
Quaker Parrot Small
Senegal Parrot Small
Sun Conure Small
Umbrella Cockatoo Medium–Large

Species recommendations are approximate, not guaranteed fits. Birds of the same species can differ in weight, neck circumference and body proportions.

Step 3: Confirm the Collar Measurements

The Velcro Cone extends outward and downward from your bird's neck. Use the diagram and measurements below to understand how much coverage each size provides.
