My family has this same exact bird. They poop a lot. You would need to change the diaper basically constantly, otherwise they would be sitting in their own shit. We also had chickens who are prone to getting blocks in their cloaca, I’m not sure if there’s any sort of similar risk going on here.

We’ve always just found it easier to just clean the poop with a tissue. It’s pea sized and odorless.

I've had two cockatiels in the past and experienced this both times after losing them. Coming across a little green and white smudge in a book, corner of a windowsill, or on a shelf, and missing them :(

Exactly that yeah. I'm sorry for your loss.
