Support your severe feather plucking bird or self-mutilator with our Fringy Cone Collar. This innovative bird collar gently restricts neck movement with a stiff, soft structure, thereby protecting wings, the vent, feet, and legs from injury. These thick Soft Cone Collars give severe feather plucking birds and self-mutilators the added protection against the compulsive habit, while still allowing for most activities of daily living that bring your pet joy.
We've developed the Fringy Cone Collar to be a minimally restrictive alternative for severe feather plucking birds and self-mutilators. The height, thickness, and stiffness of our Fringy Cone Collar make it harder for your bird to get to its extremities. Most birds can eat, climb, and play in this collar.

Note: Colors may vary from those shown and may change seasonally.
We recommend that you contact your Avian Vet for a full examination to determine the potential cause of your bird's feather plucking behavior. In addition, to protect your bird from plucking feathers use a soft bird collar.
A Bird Collar for Parrots alone will NOT resolve a feather plucking problem. You're encouraged to combine the use of a bird collar with the following:
Since even individual species may vary in size, all sizes are approximate, Click here to measure your bird. Please check with your avian veterinarian to uncover the actual causes of feather plucking and self-mutilation. Always use the Tube Collar Neckband under supervision until you know that your bird tolerates it well.
This Neck Collar is flexible and designed for self-mutilators and severe feather plucking birds or as an entry-level collar to get your bird used to wearing apparel.
Our feather picking African gray begins self mutilation every moulting season when tail feathers appear. This collar allows us to stop the behavior immediately, keeping the bird safe and out of the vet's office. She can easily get around the plastic collars. This collar is easy to put on, and the ruffles keep the bird occupied. We do have to get a new one every year, because she eventually works her way through the Velcro.
My M2 is a rescue parrot who was a plucker since I got her 13 years ago. It was never an issue til she injured her leg with a toy chain and chewed her leg open. Got that healed and she started an injury to the skin on her shoulder. It's been a tough go because the hard plastic collars with permanent disks were too much weight on her and caused the injured area to swell from her bumping around. If I gave her a break from the vet apparatus she would pick at the scan and open the skin again. I purchased a basic soft collar but it wasn't enough. However the fringy soft collar seems to be working just fine because it hides the injured area in a way that is enabling the skin to heal. This was my last resort and it truly IS a lifesaver for us! She seems to tolerate it well. I use it with the basic collar.
super EFFICIENT, SAVE MY CACATOES, I recommend it ++++++
THANK YOU VERY MUCH IT's the ONLY AND BEST SOLUTION
We tried all the styles offered for my African gray. A determined, life-long pluck-er, she is able to get her wings over the unruffled styles and reach neck feathers with the slip on style. This FRINGY COLLAR is stiff enough on the bottom layer that she rarely gets her wing over it. The ruffle around the neck protects chest,vent and tail areas. She is getting used to the weight of it and the amount of feather regrowth is impressive.
Keko is an African Gray, 35 years old and a life-long picker. After years of effort with the vet, I had given up. With the plastic collars the feathers grew back,but she sat like a toy bird. I could have a miserable bird with feathers or a happy naked bird. A couple years ago I found another brand of poncho which helped some. this fringy collar is helping more than anything else we've used. It's stiff enough to protect wing feathers and the ruffles keep her away from chest and tail feathers. She has no trouble eating or drinking and moves about to play with her toys easily. I do have to watch the velcro. It always moves to the front. She'll open it when her can. The first one held up a month before the velcro was showing wear. this second one looks like it may last 6-8 weeks. all the chewing is around the velcro-I have a few ideas to the to refurbish the chewed areas to get more wear.
