Ostich Emu Jacket-style Restraint Harness - for Veterinary Care You are bidding on a restraint device designed for safe handling of large birds such as Ostriches and Emus while under veterinary care. This restraint has four straps and an overall size of 20" wide by 66" long. We also are auctioning a larger restraint with five straps for larger birds. This device is the subject of US Patent No. 5,402,753. A copy of the patent is quickly retrievable from a Google search. From the Patent: TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to restraining devices. More particularly, the present invention relates to jacket-type restraint devices that are used for the restraint of large birds. BACKGROUND ART There is a family of birds known as "ratites". These ratites are large bipeds such as ostriches and emus. Often, in the field of veterinary medicine, it is necessary to treat such ratites. Unfortunately, the temperament of such birds makes treatment of the birds difficult and dangerous. As such, a need has developed for the proper restraint of the bird during the medical treatment of the bird. Additionally, it is often necessary to properly transport the bird once it has been restrained. In prior art techniques, an anesthetic has been administered to such ratites so as to place the birds into a sleep-like state. During this period of time, the veterinarian can properly apply the necessary treatment to the bird. Unfortunately, in most circumstances, the bird awakens violently from the anesthetic. This can create a dangerous situation for the veterinarian and the bird. As such, the need has developed so as to restrain the bird while the bird is subject to and recovering from anesthesia.
