A Tale Of Fashion & Functionality
When do you need a soft collar?
- feather destruction
- self mutilation
- to break the habit of feather destruction
- further harm or traumatisation
- to protect the growth of new feathers
- post surgery
- trauma
With extensive experience in the fashion industry, and a troubled Hahns Macaw with chronic feather destructive behaviour, there was a need to develop a comfortable solution. After many samples and extensive testing, the ultimate avian soft collar was born.
A collar must be used in conjunction with an avian vet to determine if there is a medical, behavioural or nutritional cause for the feather destruction. Without addressing underlying causes, a collar will be no more than a ‘bandaid’ solution and may cause additional problems.
WARNING:
NOT ALL BIRDS WILL TOLERATE FEATHER PROTECTION AND CAN CAUSE FURTHER TRAUMA.
It is vital all avian products are introduced under strict observation. If your feathered friend shows distress, remove immediately.
Whilst the products are designed to limit access and prevent further feather destruction, there is no guarantee your feathered one will remain in the collar. If the persistence and determination is there, regretfully is it unlikely the product will survive.
Proudly supported and extensively used by avian veterinary clinics Australia wide.
