its a stress for parrots, harness tighten the sternum
it's my opinion and i respect the opinions of other
Obviously coming from someone who has not seen my videos or read the linked article about how to safely put on a harness with no stress. My harness doesn't even touch the parrot's sternum and she can freely fly while wearing it.

Instead of a rolling eyes smilie and a short, terse response, I think a carefully worded, kind reply would have a much better effect. The eye rolling and short response come across as holier than thou and that tends to make people throw up their defenses right away rather than open them up for a friendly conversation on the topic that might actually have a chance of swaying them. This is especially true for a foreigner who has trouble with the language, let alone picking up on sarcasm. If we want to help educate people, we need to approach them in a friendly, open manner.
That's my two cents!
