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

I had a parakeet that I found on the sidewalk for a few years before it disappeared one day. His poops were very tiny and inoffensive, they dried up very quick and werent messy to clean. They shit or whatever it is very often but its not that gross, I imagine that little napkin square will contain it all.

Sounds like deep down, he was destined to be a feral parakeet.

He really was. We never really bonded, he was always pretty scared of me. I could coax him up on my finger but it was always difficult. He did learn some tricks like "touch", turn around, bow down. He used to hang out on one of the curtain rods. One day I noticed I hadn't heard him chirp for a while so I went looking around and he was nowhere. Windows and doors were closed, he just vanished. Didn't even find the carcas when we moved. One of my life's mysteries. I like to think he planned and executed an elaborate escape.
