Pretty Little Blogger Series: Costumes for Pets

*Disclaimer*
Botanical Reflections 2.0 believes that safety is the number one key with having a pet. Before dressing them in a costume, avoid costumes that cover the face, have loose pieces or contain pieces that are toxic to your pet. Also, some pets prefer not to dress up. You can get the pet accustomed to the costume and give them praise or treats a couple of days before Halloween but sometimes that will not work. Do not put your pet under stress to dress him up just for a couple hours. Also, keep candy and decorations out the reach of your pet! Your pet will thank you!

Welcome to part two of my Pretty Little Blogger Series for Halloween. Halloween is just around the corner. Yesterday, I covered costumes in the work place but what about our pets? I've seen costumes all around Pets stores and online, but what about birds? I know Mr. Tibbs will NEVER wear one, but I can always wish. Costumes for birds can range from a harness type attire or a little hat. Here are some costumes I found of birds in costume:

I researched a little more and found a store that specializes in avian attire called FlightQuarters! FlightQuarters created bird attire called flightsuits:

"FlightSuits are cleverly disguised, soft, stretchy, reusable pet bird diapers. They allow your feathered friends out of their cages both in and out of the house; worry-free from embarrassing accidents (poop) or dangerous fly-aways. Easy to put on and take off with Velcro fasteners; great for travel! The patented "poop-pouch" safely keeps droppings away from birds and you."

You can find more information about their suits here and shop for their costumes here.
