Sizing For Your Bird
It is important that the FLYPER fits correctly. A Flyper that is too BIG will have excess sagging fabric and the bird will hook its toes in the fabric on the sides. A Flyper that is too SMALL will be tight and uncomfortable with the straps probably digging into the bird's shoulders. A Flyper that is JUST RIGHT should fit snugly, allowing you to run your little finger between the garment and the bird.

Size Chart
This size chart gives a pretty accurate indication of what size Flyper should be ordered for your bird.
Please note that birds even of the same species can vary in size according to age, health and weight. Should you have any queries regarding the size, we suggest you WEIGH YOUR BIRD or measure the bird according to the 3 measurement drawings below. Contact us with these measurements, noted according to the placement on the drawings, and we will help you select the correct size.
Exchanges can be made on incorrect sizes ordered but shipping costs will apply. Unfortunately Bev's Bird Boutique can't offer refunds.

How to measure your bird
Girth measurements should be taken around the body from just in front of the legs, under the wings (do not include the wings), around to the area just above the base of the bird's tail (where the Flyper Velcro closure sits). Use a piece of string — your bird may be afraid of a tape measure — then measure the string.
