I
I used a cross strap or double strap saddle. Once on I left it until they got it filthy or rather wet. Once they are used to them they don't seem to mind. I had read where some people recommend using a similar color to the bird itself. That way the other birds don't notice. I sort of went with that. I had darker ones for darker birds and lighter for my Wheaten colors. But no one seemed to notice.I keep hearing about people making their own. I wanted to ask someone who has used them before, how long do you leave it on? All day and then take it off before bed? Or do you leave them on for days?
