About

Pinless Peepers restrict your bird(s) side and forward vision, by only allowing your bird(s) to see down which still enables them to feed, drink and scratch as normal. Because these do not require a separate connecting pin, the process of attaching the peepers to your bird(s) will be faster and easier, although a little lubrication such as olive oil is recommended to aid fitting and comfort. Pinless Peepers are constructed of polypropylene plastic material to insure long life and durability. The stiff construction also insures that these Pinless Peepers will not break or come loose once fitted. Simply pull apart, fit over the beak, placing plastic pins into the nostrils and job done, fitted in seconds.

How To Fit?

To fit Pinless Peeper, you will need the use of some Pliers (recommended), to safely spread the prongs of the Pinless Peeper to properly align them with the nostrils of the bird. As stated apply a little oil (olive oil) or similar to the prongs to aid fitting and comfort.

Do They Restrict The Bird(s) From Breathing?

NO, Pinless Peepers are 100% safe and 100% effective, most birds actually breathe through their mouth as the nostrils act as a filter if you like, so by fitting Pinless Peepers will not affect your bird(s) lifestyle or health in anyway.

Why Use Pinless Peepers?

Pinless Peepers have multiple uses, ranging from..., preventing fighting, feather picking or pecking, egg eating, crowding and bullying. They are cheap to buy and are simple and effective causing no harm to the bird(s) they are used on. Pinless Peepers are particularly good to use when adding new birds to an established flock adding them to the existing flock not the new birds being added.

Aren't Pinless Peepers Cruel?

The old Pinned Peepers were (YES) cruel in our opinion, as they had a physical pin that connected through the cartledge of the nostril of the bird(s). These plastic ones don't have any pins that connect through the nostril(s) and/or through the cartledge either and the "pins" simply sit in/onto the nostril(s) and over the beak. The plastic Pinless Peepers are considered to be humane, safe and effective.
