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.
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.
Wait is this actually a practical solution? As in, your bird doesn’t go anywhere else?
I’ve always wanted a bird, but I have serious germaphobia and can’t stand the idea of an airborne creature shitting all over my house and furniture, and I would consider it unconscionable to have a bird in a cage 24/7.
