How often should I replace my bird’s Aviator harness?
The Aviator Harness can last years for the birds that never chew on it. For others it can be as little as a few months. We have many Frequent Flyers that replace their Aviator every spring, and always have a spare.
The Aviator Harness is considered escape proof because a bird is not able to take it off the way we do. However it is not damage proof. The Aviator is designed so that an attentive owner, following the directions, will have plenty of opportunity to observe an issue before there is too much damage. Even if a bird that has been left unattended has enough time to significantly damage one part of the harness, he still cannot easily remove the harness before the owner will notice the developing issue.
We have designed The Aviator to work well for the average pet parrot. As you have seen on the video we try to cover all the possible issues while making a safe harness for a bird. To make the strap material strong enough so a bird cannot damage it would require very thick, heavy and uncomfortable material. We have to balance safety and comfort with durability.
Most birds do not chew the harness enough to cause damage. If your harness does become damaged, please contact us and we will assist you in determining if the harness needs replaced for safe use.
