It looks like she enjoys it! Cockatiels are one of the harder species to harness-train because they're not into body-touching. Some species preen each other all over the body but cockatiels are only used to being touched on the head and neck. The only time the rest of their bodies touch is when they're fighting or mating.

Or, if a baby cockatiel tries to fly on my arm but lands on their sibling and just perches there while the other one is trying to kill him haha

Thanks for all of the nice comments. It took a long time to train her. She still doesn't like putting it on but with practice, I can do it pretty fast and then she loves being outside wearing it.

You don't really need to touch the body...just lift the wings a bit.

OMG she is so good!!! Bubu enjoys being outside but spends half of the time biting the leash... And Keith, even though he let me put it in, didn't really understand what was going on and was completely concentrated in trying to get out of it! I hope one day they will be as good as Peach, look at her admiring the sky!
