Huggle Soft Neck Collar for Severe Feather Plucking

Materials: Medium-weight lycra fabric, heavy-duty thread, stiffener, NBR/PVC foam insert, industrial strength hook & loop.

The Huggle collar is one of our most robust and protective neck-collar styles. It was designed to be worn on primarily bald birds, seriously plucked birds, and self-mutilating birds.

These bird collars support healing of:

• The top & underside of the wings
• The vent area
• Feet & legs
• Chest & back

It has a thick foam insert wrapped in soft, stretchy lycra. It wraps around the neckline, restricting neck movement, and supporting compulsive chewers as they embark on their road to recovery.

Huggle’s Bird Collar is soft and comfortable to wear, unlike traditional plastic collars. Best of all, it won’t affect your bird’s peripheral vision or his ability to eat and drink.

I Love this product. It’s the first collar I’ve found that actually worked to help my Cockatoo Molly’s Plucking (Her plucking started unfortunately after she had a traumatic experience at a veterinary clinic). I use this in conjunction with little shirts I make her it’s helping quite a bit!!

Please be advised: Birds that habitually pluck or mutilate themselves and those that have had this habit for a long time are more prone to chewing the collar or trying to remove it.

Plan to support acceptance with these strategies:

1. Spray the bird collar with a bird-safe bitter spray like Bitter Apple Or King's No Chew.

2. After placing the collar on the bird, stabilize the hook and loop closure by placing a strip of moleskin or duct tape on the underside where the two sides overlap.
