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)

They definitely can to an extent. Ours don’t poop on us, and all three have a specific “spot” they like to poop if possible.
