So is there a consensus that it will not do any damage for the bird to hold its poop for too long? Before we started having someone come in, Charlie held hers as long as 12 hours.

What do you do about the times that you are not there to get her out to poop?

My problem with my grey Charlie is that she will not go to the bathroom in her cage. That has created a situation in which we need to pay someone to come in and let her out to go poop on her potty basket. We even bought a much bigger cage so that we could put a potty basket in one corner of it. She still will not go in her cage. I am thankful that she is potty trained (most of the time) but paying a sitter to get her out every day gets quite expensive (I pay someone $10 to come in for about an hour each work day). Does anyone have any suggestions?
