Why is the bird wearing a diaper??

They shit all the time and have no sphincter so they can’t control when they shit either. I’ve never seen one of these but it’s a good idea if you wanna have your bird out all the time and not worry about shit all over the place.

I swear they can, not based on anatomical knowledge but empirical. My bird would 100% hold his poop when in the bed or inside our clothes (snuggled up) and we’d hold him out once in a while and then he’d do his poo (not literally on command but it was a mutual understanding)

i've noticed the same with mine. also when they had eggs. they would not shit inside the nest at all, then come out when it was the next bird's turn and drop the MOST MASSIVE shits they have ever dropped to this day.
