How to use

Place the Elizabethan collar around the bird's neck, ensuring it is snug but not constricting. The bird should be able to breathe, swallow, and drink normally. **Remove it only under veterinary supervision** and for short periods if necessary for feeding or hydration. Do not use it if the bird shows signs of extreme stress or respiratory distress. See the package insert for cleaning instructions and recommended duration of use.

Indicated for

This collar is suitable for small and medium-sized domestic birds (canaries, budgies, lovebirds, cockatiels, goldfinches, etc.) that need protection after surgery, injuries, bites, skin infections, or topical antiparasitic treatments. It is not suitable for very large birds (large parrots) or species with very short necks.

FAQ

How do I know if the 20cm collar is suitable for my bird?

Measure the diameter of your bird's neck: the collar should fit snugly around it, not too loosely but not too tightly. For birds like budgies or canaries, this is usually the right size. If your bird is larger (like a cockatiel), make sure the 20 cm diameter completely covers its head without it being able to remove it.

Can my bird eat and drink with the collar on?

Yes, the transparent and lightweight design allows the bird to access its usual food and water. However, supervise it for the first few hours to ensure it adjusts. If you notice it isn't eating, temporarily remove the cage under veterinary advice.

How long should my bird wear the collar?

The duration of use depends on the injury or treatment. Generally, it is used until the wound heals or the topical treatment is absorbed (3 to 7 days). Always follow your veterinarian's instructions to avoid infection.

How do I clean the Kruuse Elizabethan collar?

Wash it with warm water and mild soap, and dry it thoroughly before putting it back on. Do not use abrasive products or immerse it in hot liquids. Each collar is reusable if kept in good condition.

Is it safe for young or small birds?

Yes, but make sure the collar isn't too heavy or large. For chicks or very small birds (like goldfinches), consult your veterinarian before using it, as they could become more stressed.

Can I use this collar if my bird has growing feathers?

Yes, it's ideal for preventing the bird from plucking new feathers or damaging its skin during molting. Combine it with an anti-itch treatment if necessary, always under veterinary supervision.
