Definitely the aviator harness. It's by far the safest for taking your parrot outside-- the flight suit is only held to the leash with some velcro which could easy come undone. I also think it was created with a parrots' safety, needs, and anatomy in mind much moreso than the flight suit. There's a reason that parrots "go" so often-- it aids them in flight. You might notice that when your bird is frightened by something sudden, two things almost always happen: he/she poops, and flies away from said scary thing. The reason for the pooping is because it's a survival instinct -- droppings means less weight, meaning getting away / surviving quicker and easier. The flight suit kind of defeats the purpose in my opinion. It's really made with human's wants in mind, unfortunately, rather than a bird's needs.
