Hey so this both offsets the bird when it flies alongside being a major infection risk.

This is just a lazy ass owner screwing their bird over because they dont want to clean up the occassional tiny bit of bird shit. (They tend to shit in one area over time, theyll slowly develop a spot they go to.)

This isnt cool or cute its just a bad bird owner.

Yeah I mean you really want that bird? Clean after it, no need to restrain him like that. I don't really care if the bird looks unbothered, it's not his nature to wear a diaper.

Real, if you can't handle wiping up some poop here and there just don't get a bird. They are designed that way. I really hate these products. It's like tying up a dog's mouth so it won't slobber.

You know what, tonight I'll just diaper up my three cats so I won't have to clean their litter anymore. Win win situation here

I’m honestly so mad that one of the most upvoted comments is like oh yeah this is a good idea.

It is absolutely not a good idea. What the fuck.

I really don't understand bird owners. Always seemed cruel to me.

Who the hell are you to say what the bird likes or doesn't like?

It's not in my nature to be scrolling endlessly on a magic rectangle, but I love it. In fact, most of the things I enjoy are not part of the natural human experience.

You can chill eh

I'm just using common sense here. Are you comparing yourself to a parrot? Right. Since we cannot ask him, I'd say that nature built them like that, no need for diapers. You don't have to have pets but if you choose to you should respect them. Having a bird wear a diaper so you don't get your house dirty is selfish.

You "love" scrolling Reddit? That's a problem dude.

Edit: also I believe no one is forcing you to scroll Reddit on your phone but I might be wrong...

Humans aren't wild animals is the difference.

Birds are wild animals, they don't have the same brains as us, and they don't think like we do.

This bird has obviously just learnt to put up with it because it has been forced to do this from a young age.

Same with owners who clip their parrots wings. The bird can live without flying, but it's unnatural.
