Guide Review - Avian FlightSuit (also known as the Bird Diaper)
This is a product of interest to bird owners whose birds spend a good deal of time socializing outside of their cages. The FlightSuit is well designed and well made, and is unique in its design and funtion. Some bird owners may have a hard time getting their bird into one and some birds may want to chew on the suit (especially the elastics that fit over the wings). However, birds that are hand tamed and well socialized largely accept the FlightSuit well. The "poop pouch" is quite deep so should keep the bird clean as long as the suit is not left on for extended periods. While I don't have a bird to try this product on personally, there are many satisfied users, judging from the testimonials at FlightQuarters web site.
