Fringy Cone Bird Collar

The Fringy Cone Bird Collar offers strong protection for parrots caught in a self-mutilation cycle or intense feather destruction.
It’s designed for birds who chew or bite at:

  • The chest

  • Shoulders

  • Back

  • Belly

  • Under the wings

  • Or even their feet

Built from multiple layers of soft fleece reinforced with a stiff Pellon 70 insert, the cone flares outward to block access to those high-risk spots while still letting your bird perch, climb, and eat.
It’s a sturdy yet padded barrier that interrupts the self-injury pattern so feathers and skin can finally start to heal.

Years ago, my cockatoo started self-mutilating. Before knowing about BirdSupplies, my bird had to wear hard plastic "cones"...Neither I nor my bird was happy about this! My vet told us about BirdSupplies and suggested trying a soft collar. I tried a couple different types of collars that BirdSupplies offered, before settling on the Fringy Cone Bird Collar that works great!

How do you treat feather plucking?
How We Got Our Wings

In 2010, my journey into creating bird collars began when I observed the prevalence of feather plucking among pet birds. Collaborating with avian veterinarians, we worked on enhancing the collar designs.

As a psychotherapist with experience in both inpatient care and Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), my goal was to utilize my expertise to provide support for both birds and their owners.

When the unfortunate passing of Avitec's owner occurred, I stepped in to bridge the gap and initiated the production of a diverse range of bird supplements.

Birds, equipped with sharp beaks that can crack open nuts and nimble feet, can be quite destructive, posing a challenge in potentially destroying bird collars.

In particular, birds with severe plucking or self-mutilation tendencies can be relentless in trying to remove collars to feed their addictive compulsion.

Recognizing this risk, we strongly advise a proactive stance: reinforce collars with bird-safe bitters and fortify closures with durable moleskin.

To further safeguard against there determined efforts, consider additional measures like having a Saf-T Shield on hand, using over the counter bird calming supplements, or exploring prescription grade medications to calm the compulsions. Vigilance and creative solutions will help ensure the effectiveness of the collars in curbing self-mutilation behaviors.
