Big Bird Products proudly presents the “New” Bird Shoulder Cape, made of poly/cotton prints or denim, which are durable/washable fabrics with a cream colored poly/cotton lining. We designed the shoulder cape for long comfort and protective wear, while going about your daily routine. It has a heavy Velcro fastener in the front and 2 “D” shape rings sewn on for interchanging bird toys and easy cleaning. There is a “treat pocket” for storing your bird’s favorite snack. We also offer a 20 inch Lanyard for use “only” with the bird shoulder cape. It is just long enough to allow the bird to maneuver across the owner's shoulders and be able to reach the toys and “treat pocket’. SC00101$17.99 Dr. Burkett generally recommends that birds do not play on shoulders. However, he feels that some birds can play on shoulders without problems. If your bird plays on your shoulder and is not aggressive and will step up onto your hand from your shoulder when asked, then shoulder rides are allowed. Keep in mind that the larger parrots such as senegals, conures, mini macaws, and other parrots larger than a cockatiel, budgie, or love bird, can be less predictable, and more aggressive in some cases. These and other large birds should not be allowed on the shoulder if they begin to show behavioral changes.
