judygram Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 If you cannot handle bird poop maybe you need to rethink having birds as pets is my opinion.:blink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgiesmum Posted October 30, 2009 Author Share Posted October 30, 2009 I can handle bird poop... I already have louie who goes poop where ever he pleases and that is not a problem. Im just asking because It would be handy In some situations like when visiting someone elses house who might not like the idea of bird poop so much.:laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvparrots Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 Don't they have flight suits that have liners in them? It is not something I would subject my fids to wear. In my opinion we confine them enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spinner Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 Better to potty-train in my opinion. Best to address the problem, not the symptom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

particle77 Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 I agree potty training is great, and around my apartment I have no use for such a contraption. That said, I make a point to make sure Earl gets to spend at least 45 minutes somewhere outside my apartment every day. When the temperature is warm thats easy, but when its colder we have to find other indoor places to explore, and those choices are limited. As such I considered a flight suit to open up additional places to explore. Unfortunately, I don't like the design of the flight suits. In particular I was very concerned to discover that the leash attaches to the suit with velcro, which I don't consider secure. So at this time we just stick to the feather tether, and explore the places that don't mind an occasional accident. That said, if a safe product came out, which worked, and which Earl didn't mind wearing. I'd certainly consider it to open up new possibilities for him.<br><br>Post edited by: particle77, at: 2009/10/30 02:44 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janfromboone Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 Tobie found the flight suits to be very uncomfortable. He does better with the aviator harness. I used to put a panty liner in the flight suit and it was hygenic enough. He was just uncomfortable so we don't do it now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgiesmum Posted October 30, 2009 Author Share Posted October 30, 2009 I didnt realise they would be that uncomfortable. thanks for all your advice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 Some of the members here have had great success with potty training, meaning they take them to a special place to defecate so it is possible to train them to do it on command and therefore keep your furniture and carpet fairly poop free.

JillyBeanz Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 I'm one of those who has managed this art (well, not me personally - Harvey!) I was lucky - Harvey learned fairly quickly that he should only poop on his playstand. The only time we have "accidents" is when I am in the study, talking to you lot and he's on top of the door and won't budge (he's as nosy as me)! It's totally worth the effort - but I can't say I have ever even considered nappies for a bird - too weird for me!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jamalbirdbiz Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 No matter how weird bird nappies may sound to some. I am still going to keep working on making a suit able nappie for my birdz. my birdz are both older RezQz so wez must be resourcefull. and keep on working together. B) to find a fix for this issue.

Jill, we'll teach you how to use the potty if you want to learn...lol. While I haven't been able to get Dixie to master going only in one spot, I have been working on it with her. It's just like working with them to wear their harness - consistency, patience, and time. You don't force the harness I assume, so taking the time to learn to toilet in one area should be an accomplishment you will succeed at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janfromboone Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 I personally wish the aviator harness would come up with a poop pouch. I like Tobie to go with me places and for walks and car rides and it is too long for him not to poop. I usually just put a towell around my shoulders and pin it and keep some more in the car.

rbpittman Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 What a great idea Jan. I've found that with Sterling he lets me know when he's got to poo, so I just lean backward and he does his business and hits the ground. Dixie, her wiggle is a definite sign and she steps up easily from my shoulder and does her thing. Beau, well he's still a baby, hasn't got much time between body movement and letting it go. Blue poos before he takes off flying fortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave007 Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 I recommend Charmin Ultra Soft afterward. True, Scott has more to the roll but in cases like this, better to use quality over quantity. You'll feel so much better afterward when you hear the bird's distinct chirp of satisfaction. Diapers really can't satisfy that need. After all, what bird would not want that softness. It'll get to the point where they will definitely tell you that it's *time*. They'll hold it in until you respond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JillyBeanz Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 Ha Ha Ha! I am sitting here crying for your poor, poor babies Dave - you mention Charmin ultra soft - but if you were any kind of good parront surely it would be the Charmin ultrasoft, infused with Aloe Gel!!!! As you say - it is sometimes 7 or 8 hours before I allow myself to give the "go poop" command - I'm hoping to extend this to possibly 5 or 6 days at a time to help with the cleaning process!! That is some bird room you have there Dave - I presume a couple of Valium a day does the trick to get you through!!! :laugh: Karma to you my mate for giving me the giggles for the past 15 minutes!!!

jules1962 Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 I have just looked at the parrot diaper links, and it's gave me a giggling fit, they look so cool. I think they are a great idea, but i don't think my two boys would let me anywhere near them with one. They won't even let me go near them with their harness. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
