This album was on another site where it received over 10,000 hits. That site closed. The album moved continuing to receive many hits. Now that site is closing so Katie's Red Harness album is moving here hoping the closing of sites stops.
This is the story of Katie a Congo African Grey Parrot, her special harness and pictures of how to use it.

Katie you are so gorgeous and a great model.  You keep wearing that harness so you'll be safe outdoors.  Your photos sure make it easy to learn how to put one on.  Thank you for showing us.
