The chain is precisely the color and size I wanted. I actually don't have a bird, but dairy goats. Typically we use plastic chain collars on them as they are safe and durable. I had a hard time finding chain in the color I wanted, most of the time you can only find white, yellow, and red if they are specifically for goats. I bought 30 ft which outfitted my entire herd with some extra to spare, but I will be back for more as soon as I run out.
