KVP Bird E-Collar, 2-2.75/6"

So after reading reviews and going thru my own experience, in a nut shell, its a good collar. Tip: start out with 2. Took my indian ringneck to animal ER and even the vet doctor said he liked this collar better because of the clips. He had injured his foot and was healing but when he took a 20 min bath and loosened up his dry scab, he made matters worse. He kept picking at his dry scab and lost a lot of blood.Anyway, ordered this collar and he hated and I couldn't stomach the screaming and his struggling. Took him to the vet doctor and he took the collar and Kiwi, and sent me away for the rest of the day. Came back and he was quiet as a kitten was getting accustomed to it. Vet warned me that he was going to chew and bite pieces off sooo I came up with my own solution. I cut off a piece a t-shirt hem, sewed over the foam (or remains of it to add some cushion) and placed it on him again. No problems or bleeding at all around his neck. Its a mini project for him that lasts about 5 or 6 days before he's destoryed the top part of the shirt (the remaining shirt lays on the bottom on top of his neck feathers) and then I switch it out to a collar that I've sewn over a brand new piece of t-shirt hem onto. So I rotate. I may just order 2 more anyway, to have as back up because he's healing slowing but none the less healing. So far, this has worked for me. I also give him Avitech AviFlax Gold over his food (I have to find a replacement, out of business recently.) In the past, he started feather picking and he stopped. Also, he likes taking 20 min baths under the kitchen faucet ever 2 to 4 days on his own because he gets itchy and I noticed that the vitmain and baths helped him stop feather picking. But until his foot heals, no baths for now.

Bought this for my hahns macaw- neck fitting too tight...4 inch is too small. Bought next size up (2 to 2.75 in neck opening) and trimmed it to where the last snap fits.. much better. The reviews here need to be more specific as Amazon seems to lump them all together.

$16.99 for a 6" piece of plastic, is a CRIME.The seller is predatory to bird owners that are desperate to save their beloved pet.You have to pay attention to the neck of the cone. If the bird chews on the neck hole of the cone, it will make a sharp, saw-tooth like surface and when they spin it, it can nearly cut their head off. It resulted in one of the most gruesome bird injuries I have ever seen, on a living bird. So below, I am going to offer advice and explain what I did to fix this situation.Buy some 0-6months baby socks. Pinch the toe section of the sock and cut. It will be a very rough circle. You want it to be a smaller hole, so that the sock fits snug on both the upper body & neck/head area of the bird. I also took some very, very tough canvas glued it to the cone, thru the neck area, to the other side of the cone. I also used a "Thread Zap II" in order to plastic weld the material to the cone.The cone itself had to be trimmed for our Quaker Parrot. We trimmed it to the size of a cd/dvd/bluray. I found that I could buy a 12" x 12" piece of bullet resistant lexan and a bunch of snap fasteners, for FAR cheaper than this cone and it's a much better, tougher and more complete solution.If you are not sure about that yet, then I will include a picture of what we did to make this cone a lot tougher.Good luck.

It is too big and heavy for my cockatiel. He was dragging it and could not walk. It may be for a bigger bird.

It was too small for my African Grey Parrot!

Bought it for my eclectus, the « 3.25-3.5" Small/8" Large » and it’s a bit too tight around the neck. And the cone is about 6" not 8. Smaller than description, doesn’t fit, but still nice quality.
