Digital_Cowboy - 13 Feb 2005 17:25 GMT I was wondering if anyone here has used the Flight Suit/bird diapers made by the Moores? If so what are your opinions of them? Would you recommend them to other bird owners?

Piezo Guru - 13 Feb 2005 18:24 GMT I have tried the "JetPack Catheter III" a few times but it caused some chafing under their wings. They complained of not being capable of the "Mile-High Club" while wearing them, whatever the hell that means?
Birds! Who can understand them anymore?

No more so then some (most) of those "cutesy wutesy" or "artsey fartsey" or whatever ya want to call 'em "sweaters" that people buy for their dogs. And at least these serve a purpose, they keep a birds droppings off of things that one would rather NOT have bird droppings on. . .

And also IF ya stop and think about it, whom among us has NOT been asked for a sample of their birds droppings? IF one has multiple birds who share a common cage. Then this is a way to ensure which bird which droppings came from.

No, they also sell pads that can go into the flight suit. After you've had your bird out and about for awhile in his/her flight suit. You take the flight suit off of your bird, then take out the pad and place in bag, and there you've got your sample to take to the vet. . .

Still sounds like a lot of stuffing around and a waste of money.
Piezo Guru - 14 Feb 2005 01:10 GMT I like the hanging bucket approach to catch bird droppings. You can make it yourself.
You will need: Some dental floss..maybe 1 metre (ohhhh... for you USanians...that would be 39.37 inches) A sewing thimble. You know the ones so you don't get pricked (ask Hamm) A drill press and small bit 2 - very small grommets. An larger oven that can reach 500 degress. Some snadpaper A piece of leather, cowhide is best fingernail polish, any colour
Drill a small hole on each side of the thimble, just under the lip, equally spaced at about 180 degrees apart (for you USanians that's 180 degrees). Put the rubber grommets into the holes you have just drilled. These will stop the sharp metal edges from cutting through the floss. Now tie one end of the floss through one of the grommetted holes and the other end of the floss through the other grommetted hole. (for you USanians, that's one per hole)
Now the tricky part. Capture your cockatiel in a towel to prevent major injury to your pet and yourself. Ether shouldn't be necessary because you want to have your full senses while doing this. Placing the thimble under the vent (poop shoot [for Marco. think "chocolate galaxy"] ) and wind the appropriate turns of floss around your bird carefully avoiding their beak and wings. A little adjustment may be in order to position the thimble where it will catch the droppings in flight.
Problems? Q. The droppings keep missing the thimble. What should I do? A. You forgot to calculate the air speed into the positioning of the thimble. Start over with this in mind.
Q. What if my bird can't fly after this? A. You have probably wound the floss too tight or caught a wing feather in the mess of floss.
Q. What if somebody sees this and calls the animal control people? A. Hey! Dogs wear coats outside on cold days. Tell them your bird likes to wear fishnet stocking body suits and other kinky stuff. It wasn't your decision and he/she wanted it. They will believe anything.
Q. The thimble bangs into things when my bird lands. A. Think of this like a cow bell or a cat bell to locate your beloved pet. The sound will alert you of their whereabouts.
Q. How do I empty the thimble? It is so small. A. Get a drinking straw and with your breathe draw the droppings out into the straw. (hint: Do not inhale too deeply as the little poops do not taste that good)
Q. What if the floss gets caught and cuts my beloved pet in half? A. Always...always...always start with a cheap one from Wal-Mart or one of the cheaper pet stores until you get the technique perfected. These birds will probably die of a disease anyway.
Q. What if this kills my bird? A There are no guarantees in life and you didn't pay much for it anyway. Birds are cheap compared to say a new car, so big deal. If you would have paid closer attention to instructions and read all of them before beginning, you wouldn't be in this mess. You idiot!
Q. I can't get knots tied in the tiny floss? How do you tie a knot in the floss that will stay tight. A. Maybe you can ask your mommy to help you go into a newsgroup and chat there because you are too friggin' stupid to have a real life.

Unless it's from a Macaw ;-) Tiel poop is very easy to clean up with a tissue. It's part of caring for the bird. Never mind shoving some ridiculous looking suit on the poor thing.

Yes they do, and that is what I was talking about. Ya take your bird out of it's cage, place a pad into the "poop pocket" go about your day with your feathered friend riding along. After an hour or so ya check the pad if it's soiled ya remove it and put a new one in. . .

I have no idea as I haven't yet decided IF I'm going to purchase one or not. And it's no more a "complete waste of time and money" then owning a parrot. I can see where there are some advantages to the system. Such as the leash option. And if in the long run (especially IF someone has either one or more large parrots, or a lot of "smaller" parrots) I can see where it would help to cut down on the cleaning and allow more time for the parrot to be out of his/her cage.
Personally, I happen to be someone who accpets bird droppings as natural course of owning a parrot. And I know from experiance (plenty of it) that they DO wash out of clothing VERY easily. Nor (in my opinion) does it smell.
The bottom line is that it just may be the "right option" for some people. Obviously it is not the "right option" for everyone, but for some it could very well be.

People put a leash or flight suit on a bird so they can take it outside and show it off to the world. They don't benefit a bird at all, just the sad owner who thinks of their bird as a status symbol

I think they have tiny birdie poo pads... I think they had them in a pet bird catalog I got once in the mail.

And how is that any different then all of those dog owners who bob their dogs ears or tails??? Or put "sweaters" on their dogs? Or buy long haired dogs and then have most of the hair shaved away under the gise of "grooming" the dog???
And considering the dangers in the common house, no matter how "bird safe" it may be. Wing clipping IS a good idea. Don't forget that a bird can't tell that there is a pane of glass in that window. Or that a mirror IS a mirror. To them they see something that looks good to fly to. And as most of us how keep 'tiels and HAVE clipped their wings know. Even WITH clipped wings a 'tiel IS still a strong flyer.

Bullshit, what the f-ck has flight suits or clipping got to do with dogs? Nobody apart from you has mentioned dogs. You posted this thread hoping for a hostile reaction, you got one. You cant defend wing clipping by saying you cant make your house bird safe or you cant guarantee your birds safety. Accidents with birds dont happen, they are made by irresponsible bird owners. I hope you dont have kids, for their sake.

YOU claim that it isn't "natural" to put a flight suit on a bird, I resonably asked how is it anymore "natural" for owners of a dog to alter it's appearance.
I am SO glad that YOU know WHY started this thread. For YOUR information, I started this thread to find out what others thought about the flight suits, and NOT to get a hostile reaction.
No house can EVER be made to be 100% "bird safe" there will ALWAYS be some danger lurking where one leasts expects it.
As I said in rpb, I live with and am taking care of my elderly Grandmother who has Alzheimer's, so please tell us how a person who is caring for a relative with said diease is suppose to guarantee that said relative won't accidently open an outside door while the bird(s) is/are out of their cage???
And as I also said over in rpb YOU sound an awful lot like Pam aka "Old Molly." IF you aren't her I am sure that the two of you would make good friends.

Maybe by key-locking the doors when your Tiel is out and about? Just a thought. As a side note....aren't you worried that your Granmother will go walkabout anyway? Shouldn't the doors BE locked?

And since being back home I have been sleeping downstairs on the livingroom couch. So IF she was to get up trust me I would KNOW it in a second.

What were we supposed to assume from that? From what you said, it looked like she was sleeping upstairs and you were sleeping downstairs. Perhaps if you didn't make such ambigous posts, people wouldn't make incorrect assumptions.
> Such as mixing old world and new world parrots in the same cage??? Or > admiting that she takes some VERY serious drugs, and gets "confused???" I'm not here to justify everything that Pam says. (God knows she doesn't need anybody to do this anyway) I'm just saying that she still knows a hell of alot about caring for Tiels. Eg: You don't put a leash on a bird. DER.

If I had meant that she was sleeping on the second floor I would have stated it. Or did that thought not ever occur to you?

[quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > I'm just saying that she still knows a hell of alot about caring for > Tiels. Eg: You don't put a leash on a bird. DER. Sorry, I have seen WAY too many posts from her where she says one thing, and then turns around (sometimes in the same thread AND on the same day) post something that contradicts what she has just said. Such as I recall her having said she doesn't feed her birds pellets, and then saying that she does. . . Even IF they are only a part of their daily diet (no matter how small) she still feeds her birds pellets. . .
Hmm, ya don't put a leash on a bird, huh? Are NOT the jesses that a falconer use a form of a "leash?" To wit:
Jesses - Leather straps to secure the bird by the legs.
Ya know that SURE does sound like what a leash does.

*Ninja* - 15 Feb 2005 04:58 GMT > Oh, and I suppose that people don't have FRONT PORCHES with steps leading > up to them??? Even people who may live in single floor houses??? Yes. But they are called (as you just called them then) STEPS. When one says "stairs" one usually means a "staircase" leading from one floor to the other. The few steps coming off a porch, are usually just called "steps", not "stairs". Stairs suggests a higher level.
> If I had meant that she was sleeping on the second floor I would have > stated it. Or did that thought not ever occur to you? Not really. You meant that she was sleeping on the ground floor, and you didn't state that, so why would you state the second floor if you meant it? Confused yet?

CLEARLY leashes for birds DO exist. SO WHAT IS YOUR POINT? Just because there is an invention, and just because many people use it, DOESN'T MAKE IT A GOOD OR USEFUL IDEA!!!!
Cigarettes - Something you smoke. Legal. Soooo many people do it. Does this mean it is a good idea?

Falcons legs are much stronger than parrots. Their legs are designed for striking at prey. Jesses aren't used on parrots, they were tethered to a chain not leather and many parrots were injured by chaining them to a perch. Do some research dipshit.

Stephen Oakes - 15 Feb 2005 02:30 GMT I have never heard of these before this thread, and I have to say that I am surprised that someone invented them and astonished that people buy them... That's all.

If so what are your opinions of them? Would you recommend > them to other bird owners? What I do when I take my tiel out is I lock my doors. I have SIL's (sister-in-laws) that walk right into my house without knocking and I swear they were brought up in a barn because they don't know any better to close the damn door behind them! I'm usually the one that gets up and closes the door. I have ALWAYS worried about any of them coming to my house while "Piper" is out simply because of the door being left open. Also, sometimes I bring "Piper" into another room in the house and let him have the run of the room and then I close the door. He usually doesn't make that much of a mess in the room.

He usually doesn't make that much of a mess in the room. I do this also :-) Give Rouge the run of the loungeroom usually, with the door closed, and the outside doors of the house keylocked. Just to be on the safe side.
