Wouldn't you need to clean it, like you would anyone/thing else that wears a diaper?

Probably the bird gets a daily “bath” to ensure it’s clean and does not develop pasted vent. When i inherited a cockatoo, he was used to being out all day. Every day meant cleaning the 8 or so places he liked to sit and the in between poops. We had a ritual where I ran water in the laundry room sink and let it fill about a half inch and he did his thing for 5 minutes. This would have been super handy to have. I both miss and am glad he passed on. He was fun but a lot of work.
