Velcro Cone: Our mildest bird collar, the Velcro Cone, serves as a distraction and provides a tactile chewing experience.
Fringy Neck: This collar works by surrounding the neck with thick yet soft material, gently limiting neck movement and making it harder for birds to access preferred chewing areas.
The Fringy Cone variant features even thicker material and a stiff insert in the cone, further restricting access to the body for compulsive pluckers.
BeakGuard Vest: Our snug bird vest offers an additional layer of restriction for the chest and back.
Pairing Collars and Vests
It's perfectly fine to pair collars and vests together, if necessary.
Many pet owners opt to keep a few styles on hand. They can use a milder collar when the bird is stable, and if something in the environment triggers the bird to pluck, they have a more restrictive emergency backup ready.
Benefits of Bird Collars
- Protective Barrier: Bird collars offer a protective barrier, preventing self-mutilation and feather plucking.
- Calming Effect: Many customers have reported that our collars have a calming effect similar to a swaddling experience, helping to soothe the bird.
Part of a Comprehensive Strategy
Bird collars are just one part of a comprehensive strategy for managing feather plucking and self-mutilation. This strategy includes appropriate medical care, a balanced diet, enrichment activities, behavioral supports, and calming supplements. By incorporating bird collars into this holistic approach, pet owners can promote their parrot's overall wellness and happiness.
