The Aviator Flight Line

Light weight elastic cording allows safe flight and encourages proper flight behaviours for free flight training. If your bird ever gets loose he will be better equipped to fly home.

The Aviator Bird Harness wrist strap attaches to the lead of the Aviator Flight Line and you no longer need to hold on.

The Aviator Flight Line is very light. For small birds the entire Flight Line lead and the Aviator Harness together weights less than 15 grams. For the largest birds the system weighs a total of only 23 grams.

Now you can safely teach your bird recall, to fetch, to forage in the grass for treats, exercise, and the best part of all you will spend more time having fun with your companion.

The Aviator Bird Flight Line works for all birds as small as cockatiels and as large as hyacinths.

This Package Includes:

Flight Line for up to 50 x 80 feet of flight area.
Light weight lead for small birds.
Heavy weight lead for large birds.

The Aviator Harness is not included.

Exposure to full spectrum light
Stronger bone density – Prevent Egg-Binding
Improved cardiovascular system
Better nutrient absorption
Better balance and physical dexterity
More interaction with owner leads to increased mental skills.
Conclusion = Higher self-esteem

The Aviator Flight Line is a wonderful tool that allows a pet bird to play and learn in a very complicated and exciting outdoor environment. There is little comparison to the stimulus that can be found outside in the yard with all the odors, sights, feels, sounds, and ever changing details. Small dishes placed around the Aviator Flight Line area will require your parrot to be rewarded with very small amounts of food or treats. Treats wrapped in small wads of paper will require him to search out these packages and open each one. Not all of them will contain a treat so his efforts will be elevated to a higher level of delayed satisfaction and continued interest. This trait is an important component of learned self-entertainment.

THE ULTIMATE PARROT CONNECTION

INSTRUCTIONS

Locate an open grassy area with no trees, shrubs, lawn furniture, etcetera. There should not be anything for your bird to perch on or become tangled in.
For beginning flight training the grass must be mowed short. Most pet birds learning to fly do not have much strength or endurance. They will be carrying the weight of the harness and leash when flying. The leash dragging on grass will add additional weight. Soon your pet will gain the strength and endurance to easily carry the leash, and learn to fly a little higher so less of the leash will drag on the grass.
Measure in from the outside edge of your open area approximately 25′, all the way around the perimeter of your flight area. The flight line has a maximum length of 30′ and may not fill your entire area. If your center area is wider than 30′ the Flight Line can be planted anywhere inside the area.
If your measured area is less then 30′ across at the widest point, Install one end-post somewhere on the line determined in step 3. For the greatest amount of flight area you will want to choose the two points furthest away from each other with some of the flight line unwound from the post, push the empty and-post into the ground.
On the far side of the line plotted in step 3, install the other end-post. Unwind enough line to reach the other side of your flight area. If your area is less than 30′ long leave the extra line wound on the end post. Wind extra line onto the post by pulling the excess line through the hole it is attached to. Once all of the extra line is pulled through, wind it onto the hooks on the post. If the line is not wound tight it may loosen as the Flight Line is used. If slack develops in the line, move the post back. There must be at least two inches between the flight line and the grass all the way along the line, If the line is not taunt it may sag and touch the grass. Proper line tension will cause the post to bend about one inch before you push it into the ground. Most lawns are not perfectly flat; distance from the grass to the line will vary form 2″ to 6″.
Choose the proper lead and install the split ring (key chain thingy) onto the flight line. Be careful not to snag the line when installing the lead.

Lead choice will vary for medium size birds. Because all species have a wide weight range, it is possible to fall into both lead categories. New flyers may not have the strength to carry the heavier lead until they develop a little stamina Always use the heavier lead when possible.

Use LIGHT LEAD for small birds up to 300 grams.
Guideline: All Parakeets. Indian ring necks, Cockatiels, Conures, Quaker, Senegal, Doves, Rainbow Lories, Rosellas, Sm. macaws, white cap pionus.

Use HEAVY LEAD for medium and large birds over 300 grams.
Guideline: Amazons, Large lories, Larger Pionus, Eclectus, Med. and Lg. Macaws, Cockatoos, Tlmneh grey, Congo grey, Eclectus, Patagonian conure.
Holding the end of the stretched out lead, walk the perimeter of the area to ensure that it is free of all obstacles that may attract your bird or snag the line. The Aviator Harness leash will extend an additional 8 feet from the end of the Flight Line lead.
Carefully attach the Flight Line lead to the wrist strap of the harness.
You are ready to start flying. Start out slow and with caution. Wild parrots fly as far as 25 miles a day. Captive parrots rarely exceed 100 feet. New flyers will take a few weeks to build strength.

CHECK LINE, LEADS AND CONNECTIONS BEFORE EACH USE.

The AVIATOR FLIGHT LINE is very safe when used as designed. No parrot should be left alone while tethered to the Flight Line. Parrots are active and curious and could become tangled or escape.
