Animal rights activists haven't condemned this animal fashion business... yet!

[Dien Rice]

Whenever it comes to animals and fashion, often sparks fly!

Groups (like PETA) criticize people for wearing fur, leather, or anything animal-related - saying it's cruel.

However, this next business - while it is about animal fashion - has escaped the wrath of PETA so far...

Maybe it's because it's about a different kind of animal fashion...

It's fashion for animals! Specifically, for birds...

Avian Fashions makes products like "flight suits," hoodies, costumes, and leashes for pet birds...



A "flight suit" is just a fancy way of saying a "bird diaper" (or "bird nappy") - so it's quite practical (on occasion), so birds don't "poop" everywhere when they're wearing one.

I never knew such a business existed, until I read about it a couple days ago! Apparently, it seems to be thriving... Another unusual niche!

I found out about it from this article...

Hi Phil,

Thanks for your post!

Your post-inspired searching made me find this...

I thought someone out there might have made "armor" that birds could wear to protect them from cats...

However, instead I found this!



The cats of war: Now your feline can have its own BODY ARMOR

Really cool post. It wouldn't surprise me if someone made a stink about animals wearing clothing. It would be interesting to put fur on one of the birds. That would get some attention. We have come a long way from the days of making clothing out of animals and testing make up animals, as well. What amazes me is the fact that animal rights came about in America before children's rights, and the foundations that were created for animal rights helped develop the outline for the rights of children. Thankfully we never had to make coats out of kids before people started to take notice and make changes.
