  • Patent number: 5697328
    Abstract: A new and improved therapeutic collar for birds comprising, in combination, an sheet formed in a rectangular configuration having a first vertical end edge, a second vertical end edge, an upper horizontal end edge, a lower horizontal end edge, a front face and a rear face. The sheet has a linear width and height. The linear width being between 1.8 and 3.0 times the height. The sheet is formed into a cylindrical configuration when the first vertical end edges and the second vertical end edge are overlapped and coupled with a fastener means at opposite end edges. The end edges are releasable coupled therebetween. The sheet is resilient in its circumference when formed in a cylinder but sufficiently rigid with a high-beam strength to preclude bending of the sheet in the direction of the axis of the cylinder. A fabric covers the circumference of the sheet for softness of contact between the collar and the neck of a bird to which it is applied.
