My conure has been plucking on and off for two years (she is 10 1/2 years old). The collar works great to disrupt her plucking.

Collar was perfect fit, slip over for Elenora cockatoo, ordered a second collar to deter her from picking on wings next to neck, worked well. Took collars off after 3 months, seems to have fixed the plucking, but she is constantly monitored.

As a concern Bird owner I would try anything to ease my Ring neck habit of pucking his feather. I purchased the mild sofy fit collar and tried it several times. Cielito is not happy. I as a result feel bad in him being so uncomfortable. I opted to continue feeding him the Calming Hemp seeds, the Calming Vitamins and spraying him often. I also take him to the Shower room and open the shower to hot water only and close the door, the humidity does help for his dry skin. I also play and spray him daily with a spray mist of water.
I do continue seeing little white fluffly feathers in the cage, but not the long tail or wing ones.
I am very happy with Bird Supplies and their variety.
My best to all bird owners, and love and patience is the answer to many of the issues of having a dear BIRD COMPANION. Ana and CIELITO from Miami Beach .

Great tool to assist with treatment
This has done wonders for my nanday conure - she is starting to grow feathers for the first time in years. She is tolerating it better than expected too.

Citron Cockatoo
Excellent collar, very easy to slip on so no velcro she can rip threw and take off, lightweight and easier for her to move around with, she is a self mutilater and was given to me to help correct her behavior and make her feel safe again, with this collar and my Avian Vet we are on the right track. Thank you for making a great collar

first impressions
I ordered this collar in both the slip on and velcro styles. Both are well made. The slip on style helps a lot to protect the chest, but leaves room to pick feathers around the neck. The velcro style closes closer around the neck, but the weight of the velcro keeps it in the front where she focuses her chewing on it. Both styles are light enough for her to get her wings around and reach the upper feathers. Because of this, she now wears the ruffled version. These unruffeled versions are lighter, and probably work well with the moderate pluckers. For the more determined birds, the ruffled version offers more protection.

Smart bird
My Goffins is too smart. She figured how to rip off the Velcro ones. The slip on helped train her that the collars are ok. Now I can use the Velcro ones also depending on her needs.

The only thing that works
Our Moluccan Cockatoo has physically recovered from a tricky bacterial skin infection but has become a chronic plucker, and will rub at his chest until he has an open wound. Other than breaks for showers or when we can closely supervise him, he is probably in a collar for life. We have tried all sorts of collars, but the slip on version is the only thing that works. He knows all about velcro. These collars last about 6 weeks before they are so battered that we replace them. He can fly and climb without problems, and doesn't even object much when we put it back on him. Please note that we use this collar in conjunction with a stretchy gauze 'turtleneck'. The Slip-on collar goes over the gauze and prevents him from reaching his chest feathers.

Certainly works
It does the job!
Don't get me wrong, my Hahn's HATES it, but a few days of slowly putting it on her more and more and she's accepted it as her fate. I take it off every day for about an hour just to give her time to preen, eat some food with her feet, and usually she manages to pluck just one feather.... but it's a process.

Heaven sent
After going through several plastic e collars that my parrot destroyed and dealing with a miserable bird I ordered the fleece collar. Easy to put on and take off but my bird was unable to take it off herself. It made her healing process so much easier and she didn’t seem to mind it too mich

Perfect!
These collars are the perfect solution for a bird that’s plucking.
I’ve never seen anything quite like them - what a wonderful alternative to medicating your bird. Most of the ‘calming’ supplements I’ve tried do not stop picking behavior. Depending on the type of bird, it can be a challenge to get the collar on, but it just means they need more time. My African Grey is very hesitant to get close to it but my Senegal wanted to carry it around!!
The collars are beautifully made; anyone who’s ever done any sewing will appreciate the work & materials that go into creating them.

Why didn't I think of That?
Love the collar. Attention to detail and almost a toy to keep my little Goffins cockatoo busy!

Great Product
I am still trying to get my Blue & Gold used to this collar but I am very impressed with the quality. When I was not sure it would fit I received a prompt email and was advised a quick and easy remedy for that concern. Great customer service. I will submit a picture once I get my little girl used to the collar.

Collar for Parrotlet with Broken Leg
I volunteer with an NJ based companion bird rescue called For the Love of Birds. We took on an emergency of a parrotlet with a broken leg. She was treated by an avian vet however was extremely uncomfortable in a plastic e-collar. BirdSupplies.com sent out a soft collar for her immediately and she is beyond thrilled with it! The collar is very small but is still highly made. It is making her recovery time a much easier for her now that she's comfortable.

Genius
My parrot loves it. Effective, fun, not stressful. My boy has a wound that needs time to heal. So grateful that our vet had these in stock...a world beyond the stressful xray film collars of days gone by. He took to it right away, and has been smiling ever since. Thank you.

slip on collar
I took about a week to get my umbrella cockatoo used to seeing and touching the slip on collar. I put it on her today and she has started chewing it up. I'm not sure how long it will last.
valerie brown
My cockatoo thinks she is special because she gets to wear fleece poncho. I tell her how pretty she is. It slips on easy and keeps her cozy since she has picked a lot of feathers. I believe it helps reduce some of her chewing feathers and over preening. She has about a half dozen ponchos to wear.
Holly Jennings
Room for improvement
The quality is good and the product does what it's meant to do, I just had to trim it down a lot and make some adjustments to make it work for my Golden conure. The poor thing couldn't walk, much less climb, or eat in it's original form, so I had to trim it back.

As you could tell from our emails we couldn't pick the size since the bird was right on the edge between the two sizes. So Thanks for sending a small and medium size collar to help us get the bird into the right size ASAP. FYI We tried the medium first and it is perfectly - we will send the small collar back to you! Appreciate your help and patience solving the sizing problem! It was a pleasant surprise to see your concern for our bird getting immediate help.
Thanks again!

We have yet to fit ours to our little parrotlet. Simply because we do not know how to secure the collar on her. The instructions appear to say for us to cut the collar from outside edge to inside edge in order to wrap it around her neck. Yet it fails to explain how the collar is to be secured so that it doesn't simply fall off after cutting it. Email has been sent to the company, but no reply as of yet.

This is a great fix for my Trooper! He had a neurological event at 6 months and lost the use of the right side of his body. He climbs around but hasn’t gotten use of his right wing back. I have tried nerve pain killers, antipsychotics, food additives, anti-inflammatories and all kinds of collar designs. He chews threw this one pretty quick and he’s not a huge fan but it does the job and he can eat, drink and climb around with it!

My bird did not like it. However I think it will help over time. He is a very fussy bird so it is what I expected of him.

Our vet initially supplied a clear plastic collar with tape around the neck edges. This was quite inflexible and not very kind to the wearer, our lovely Galah, named Coila (the Gaelic word for Heather). She was not happy wearing it so we researched to find something better and found this one at Birdsupplies. Coila is very happy wearing it, but she has taken to preening the pointy bits on the top layer (as if they are her own feathers:-)! So it's starting to look a little worse for wear. But does it's job perfectly. Glad we found this!

Great fit and soft. Our citron took to it immediately. She wasn't able to picket sutchered wing injury and it healed quickly. The collars are soft and can be easily modified. Great product and service!!!

The foam collars and plastic cone collars just didn't work for us. The fleece design was perfectly soft and I could cut and
Modify it. My citron cockatoo adapted to it readily and the shoulder laceration was able to heal without further vet visits. Great product and hopefully I won't have to use one again. Thanks for a wonderful product and great customer service.
