I only have one female eclectus but I potty trained her within a month of her living here. I noticed the signs she would do right before pooping so I started taking her to her cage top or tree stand, setting her down, saying poop and telling her good job when done. I made sure to alternate which place I took her so she understands she has a couple options (the cage or two diff tree stands). Once she got it she started flying off to go on her own. If she’s chilling with me for over 20min and I realize she hasn’t gone I point to a spot and say go poop and she will go do her business and then come right back!
Daily clean 😂 I have to pay for help sometimes just because I breed birds fish goats chickens eventually in 2 years plan to have 2 full time employees but rn holy poop
Thank you so much for this video! I recently found this really stressed and sad looking Canari with missing feathers around her neck and really feel bad for her. I feel the need to adopt her but know diddly squat about birds and how much responsibility it actually takes. Your vids are super helpful and much appreciated.
The thumbnail said it all 😂 it's like that with me too and chew my all things too 😅 I use some newspaper for the window cuz they have their bowl of their food too they love to eat near window and for my table i just use tissues to wipe of the poop before it dry As for me they hardly poop on me ever since they came home, they just kind of back off then poop on floor, chair or on my swing, but yeah accidents can happen sometimes too 😅 Edit : mimi i wanted to ask u about Rio, when he sit on sunlight with me he just want me to rub his eyes, why's that, i don't know what behaviour is this, is it simply just cuddling or something else 🤔
Ahahaha so true 😂 i hate cleaning the windows 😭 Mango stands on them all the time and poops and eats 😒 Sorry can you clarify what you mean by rubbing his eyes? Against what?
@@mimisbirdhouse he wants me to rub his eyes gently with my fingers and if i don't do that he would rub his eyes on pillow That's only if we r sitting in direct sunlight
@@Monart7487 id be careful around the eye as our hands can easily give them an infection or irritate it. If he is rubbing his face or cheek thats normal. Make sure there is no redness around the eyes. Otherwise it may just be a quirk ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@@mimisbirdhouse ok! Well there is no redness just that he seems to be in heaven of plessure when i rub his eyes or cheeks but i will be more careful Thank u 🥰
I was somehow able to train mine to poop on his perches, which works about 90% of the time. Sometimes he mistakes the back of a chair for the perch, but I can forgive that. Sometimes when flying, he will poop and it lands on the floor. I honestly can't complain, he is really good overall and I know he tries. One problem is when he's in his cage, he often hangs on the wires and will poop in the most inconvenient places. Like, in between these narrow areas in between the metal wires where I have a real hard time cleaning it. I swear he does it on purpose 😂
My birds just don't care where the poop lands, so i just wear old clothes when I'm with thrm because I don't care if they get stained. They've pooped on my hair a few times but i have short hair so I just wash it quickly and it's done. Tbh I've gotten used to it
i tried to train Bob where to poop and it learned about 60% but also it cant stay in its cage🥲🥲🥲. recently i dont know how it has learned take the food and put it in its bowl
What a shitty topic. That said, I'm extremely happy that my bird thinks of my room as his nesting ground, and refuses to poop in it. He'll actually hold it in until I bring him elsewhere, and created his own designated pooping spots, like a chair, that he taught himself to use. Downsides to this: 1. He often makes me carry him when he has to go, since he seems to dislike flying when he's held it in for awhile. 2. He thinks of my room as his nesting ground, and will kill me on sight if he doesn't like me for whatever reason (shaved, have a hat on, wearing my glasses, etc.). 3. He thinks of my room as his nesting ground, so gl to me inviting anyone in. LOL
Ahahahhahaa I see what you did there 😂 Oh man sounds just like Luza my quaker. I have to escort her to go poop, she has some pooping trauma so she needs a lot of encouragement. If i leave for too long she will divebomb me and peck at my head as punishment, as well forget about guests in there 😂
Do you think it’s ok to introduce a two year old quacker (very calm) to two other 6 month old quackers. They come from the same store and their cages are adjacent to each other. All three are very calm, even for the loud and cramped environment they are stored in.
i trained my qp when he is out of the birdroom to go potty. i just say "go potty, mister" and he heads for his cage to do his duty. he comes back out after that. i give him about 10 mins out and tell him to go potty.he's on it then. sometimes my qp goes w/o being reminded.
Seeds, poop, feathers and dust everywhere. That's how I enjoy life :D
Just breathe in that sweet dust 😂 I onced sneezed out a feather 😂
My living room is a jungle i have about more than 10 birds
suits me. better than clean up from cats hair litter box and all. i'll take the birdroom clean up anytime.

Hey thats awesome! My sunny and quaker are like too, so polite ☺️!
One doesn't deal with bird poop. Just accept cleaning a lot is your new life 😂

Thank u 🥰
Thanks for the great informative video. I never really had birds before and this answers a lot of questions for me. ❤
Im glad it was helpful ☺️
you can also set up perches everywhere like i do, and then just put plastic or paper under. and then just swhich it out.
Yes I do that ☺️ we place cardboard underneath them ☺️
Depends on the bird mine would shit everywhere and walk in it he do t care
Oh no 🤣🤣
Great ideas ❤❤❤

Ahahaha oh man between the cage bars 😂 its always sooo fun to clean (joking) Yours sounds very polite either way ☺️
I have several cockatoos... the dust is all the way to the second floor... even with Air cleaners
Oh geez I can only imagine 😭
Mine poops every 10-15th minute... so yeah... but again not hard to clean.
10-15min is the normal. Luckily its easy I agree
Yup my parakeets do too
My birds just don't care where the poop lands, so i just wear old clothes when I'm with thrm because I don't care if they get stained. They've pooped on my hair a few times but i have short hair so I just wash it quickly and it's done. Tbh I've gotten used to it
I felt that 🥲 I wear torn pj’s all the time, ive gotten poop on my hair in the past not anymore. Poop on my pillows, precisely where I was gonna sit 😂
Bruh. This kind of discourages me to get a bird.
Its the reality 😅 having a bird isnt as pretty as the internet makes it seem
i tried to train Bob where to poop and it learned about 60% but also it cant stay in its cage🥲🥲🥲. recently i dont know how it has learned take the food and put it in its bowl
60% is still good numbers!
Wait he learnt what about what?
What a shitty topic.

I'm not an expert but I'd recommend checking out the video by FlockTalk called something like "introducing new birds", perhaps it could be of help
Flocktalk is fantastic!
I have a video myself;

It is possible its just knowing the steps :)
First!!!!!! ❤😊
Yes you are!
@@mimisbirdhouse yes I am!🤭🥰
❤❤❤❤
Hi is bird poop dangerous to my daughter 7 years old?

Gross. No thanks.
Lol its definitely not for everyone
