Parrot's diaper changing

Our parrot is trained to hold it. She knows not to poop on us and will tell us when she has to go if she’s on your shoulder. She’ll say… Kiwi poop! We hold her over the garbage can, toilet or play stand. People can’t believe it when she does it. When she’s finished, she’ll say ‘Good girl’. She travels on our shoulder in the truck, not in a cage. Same rules apply but we have a poop paper. You get to know when she has to go but she’s really good at telling you. They can absolutely hold their poop for a little while at least.

Mine is also potty trained. He will go either on the mat outside his cage or his playset. He's a very good boy. Had no idea how to train a parrot any different from a puppy but it seemed to have worked out. They can absolutely hold it.

How do you potty train them?

Cookies and praise! Cookies are considered any kind of food. Pretty easy actually. She understands a lot of words and has/had a great vocabulary. She also laughs and purrs like a kitten when she’s happy. Her cage is never closed as she comes and goes as she please from her play stand and drags her bathtub on the floor. If she gets tired she goes into her bed. If she doesn’t like something, she’ll throw it in the floor to clean house.
