Soft collars i made 🥹

Hi all, my boy has an underwing plucking issue going on for couple of months and vet gaved us a plastic e-collar. In the country where i live there is no other collars than plastic so i made my sweety a soft collar because plastic one cuts his neck skin 😭 He is really comfy in his collar and i thought, i should make more to give the vet so babies in need gets some comfort 😭😭 Vet really liked the idea so im making them. Just wanted to share for people who wants to make their own. Just cut a 10,5 cm diametered circle from bird safe felt and and add another layer for thickness, sew them together open a small neck area and decorate them how you want. Thats it ✨

I literally said out loud right now when I saw this pic, I went .. “Oh…My…Lord, Oh… My, Goodness.” Because of HOW DANG CUTE AND ADORABLE This is !!! Omg he looks like a sweet and distinguished gentleman with that beautiful tux collar !! Ah I just can’t ! I ADORE

Actually I just saw your second pic and I am now even more impressed with your skills ! Have you or would you ever considering making and selling any per request ???? If my bird didn’t want to self sabotage anytime I put a soft collar on him (he despises that stuff sadly) I would TOTALLY buy some from you. And I’m 100% sure others would too !

Thank youu 🥹🥹 You are so kind and made me soo happy 🤭 I thought about it and even vet offered me to pay but im just doing them for free because its like a hobby to me and the vet is a friend of us so... i dunno. Putting a collar to a bird is so stressful for the owner too (at least for me) and i want people to find a little hapinnes when they look at their unfortunately sick birdie
