Noodles' harness training program

[PippinTheChicken]

I bought 2 harnesses almost 2 years ago but never found a tame girl I could train to wear them.
Then I found my lap baby, Noodles!
Today I was playing and cuddling with her and had a lightbulb moment. I grabbed the tiny harness and put it on her.
I expected her to collapse (like Kiwi did) or trot around proudly (like Pickles did) but she didn't. She walked. Normally. I mean, she did preen a little more, but she was fine with it.

So, I am going to start training her to wear a harness! A few mins everyday wearing it, then when she's comfortable with it I will introduce the leash!
Anyone who is currently training one of their birds to wear a harness (or already has) is welcome to update here!

Attached are pics of Noodles

Little Big Shot my roo will kinda walk on a leash. He trues to back out of it sometimes but I just give him a nudge and he is fine. He just walks around eating grass.
