What is a Diaper?
Bird Diapers are cleverly disguised, soft, stretchy, reusable pet bird diapers. They allow your feathered friends out of their cages both in and out of the house; worry-free from embarrassing accidents (poop) or dangerous fly-aways. Easy to put on and take off. Great for travel. Breathable, easy to clean fabric. Use them over and over for years. The patented "poop-pouch" safely keeps droppings away from birds and you.

What is the poop-pouch?
The unique, patented "poop-pouch" is a V-shaped extension at the end of the Diaper. It catches the bird waste as it lands, capitalizing on that characteristic of bird poop - it adheres onto whatever it lands on - in this case inexpensive, disposable FlightLiners. Meanwhile, the upper part of the pouch shields and protects the bird from further contact with the waste. It is a simple concept designed to precise specifications to work properly for each species of bird.

Doesn't the bird waste touch or stick to the bird?
No! The beauty of Bird Diapers and the feature that made them "patentable" is that they safely contain the poop AWAY from the bird! They are guaranteed to work!

How long can birds wear a Diaper?
While Diapers can be worn for extended periods, we recommend they be changed every 4 to 6 hours. The unique design of the poop-pouch allows easy monitoring and disposable FlightLiners make using the Diapers even easier! Simply change the FlightLiner to extend the time between changing Diapers.

Are Bird Diapers reusable?
Yes! One of the Diapers' best features is that they are indeed reusable - indefinitely!

How do you condition a bird to wear a Diaper?
When introducing your bird to a Diaper, it is suggested that bird owners follow these simple steps:
- Allow your bird to see the Diaper from a comfortable distance so that it may become accustomed to both the color and fabric. Minimum time: 2 - 3 days.
- Over time, move the Diaper closer to the bird and cage. This process will be quicker for younger birds (less than 5 - 6 months old); longer for older birds. Minimum time: 2-3 days.
- Pet or caress the bird with the Diaper. Hang the Diaper on or near the cage, allowing the bird to examine the suit: Minimum time: 1 - 2 days.
- When you're both ready to test the Diaper, remove the bird's food for 2 - 3 hours; put Diaper on the bird and immediately reward by returning food or feeding. This serves as a positive reinforcement as well as a distraction.
The following positive reinforcements works well while birds are in Diaper:
- Offer plenty of verbal praise.
- Give favorite treats: peas, corn, millet spray.
- Make for quality one-on-one time away from the cage.
- Treat bird to their favorite toy.
- Take bird outside for special outings.
- Birds may nibble at the Diaper until they are accustomed to wearing it.
