BeeFernandez22 Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Just curious how you all deal with the birdy poo all over when your birds are out? Maverick is obviously still adjusting so he is spending most of his time out on his basket, which catches the poo but once he gets comfortable and is flying around like some of you guys birds, what will I do then?? Haha. Funny question I know but I was thinking about this earlier as I was cleaning some off of my comforter! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingy Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Lots of tissues and always wear slippers. Cold or warm stepping in poo in bare feet is not pleasant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timbersmom Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Wet wipes are a wonderful thing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talon Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 You will if d that your birds go in the same spots, so I frequently clean them up, but at night I go thru the house and clean up the places they usually go. you can put something down, but as soon as they fly, the paper goes flying too!

CLB Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Crazy but.....if you can let it dry on a fabric, it pops right off and the white uroliths brush off fairly easily. I have a friend who advised me that a bit of scotch brite scrubby works great on the dried white part too. lol I suppose when you have birds there's going to be poo. : ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zooman Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 gah it's a struggle keeping up lol especially after they drink from the shower poops are watery and go on door handles and have a way of staining laminate floors. others are right I go through lots of tissues.

murfchck Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 When it is on the floor, tile or wood, the laminate countertop samples from Home Depot work great as a scraper for the darker poo, then just sweep and mop. Of course this is for the dried stuff. Best if you can get it right away but man, mine poops so much i can't keep up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aerial.2000 Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 I have babywipes in like every room LOL from the floor to the counter to her birdstand ... they work great. I try however to make sure something is always under her if shes on the couches cuz Id much rather wash a towel then scrub poop offa my couch lol (that doesnt always work) she likes to grab the towel and mess it up lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 What to do about the poo!! Learn to live with it, if you are a bird person then you won't mind a little poo here and there, the others gave you some good ideas as to how to clean it up.

Sarasota Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 LOL! I really need to get some good photographs of Toucan poo...especially the delightful Morning Poo. They eat all fruit....delightful splatters everywhere...even on the ceiling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timbersmom Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Yikes! Poo pictures is a new idea... I can only imagine cleaning up after multiple birds. I just have one, and it seems that every time I sit down I notice a new spot to clean and a sly looking bird. I'm with Aerial, baby/wet wipes in every room! The countertop scraper murfchck mentioned sounds like a good idea. I need to get one of those for the spots I miss when they are fresh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only imagine...lol I often get questions about my pigeons - I have 12 in a loft. I laugh. I use a scraper to get the perfectly formed poo off a wooden floor/nest boxes. It's SIMPLE compared to parrots and toucans! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvparrots Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Before I got my first parrot, I had all the carpet replaced with laminated wood floors. I have boings and perches in front of my windows or corners of my rooms and put newspaper under each spot. My birds land there. Because my parrots are flighted, I anchor the paper down with rubber based furniture protectors which I get from True Value stores. Works for me.

Sarasota Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Before I got my first parrot, I had all the carpet replaced with laminated wood floors. That's why I recently did. I LOVE the laminated floors. That is, until I got a un-housetained dog. Little puckers at the seams of the floor where he made his mistakes. UGH!

Elvenking Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 One thing I always do is to make sure to get Isaac to a good place for those morning, or fresh out of the cage poops. Other than that, sometimes I can keep up, other times I can't...it is a huge job picking up after a flying parrot. I always fall behind at some point because, well eventually you have to do something else. They poop sooo often. Cleaning tools, scrapers, cleaning solutions, steam vac, dry vacs...and a buttload of commitment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kins2321@yahoo.com Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 We have a " poo cleaning party!" All rooms with hardwood floors, except one. When I had hardwood floors redone, I had them do a trillion layers of shalack. ( whatever you call it). I soak the bad poos with a towel and warn water, it comes right up. ( then dry!) As far as family room... 1800 STANLEY! Every three months. They know what they are up against! Surprisingly, they poop less in carpeted room, compared to hardwood floors.

Wingy Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 I bought a Hoover carpet cleaner and that thing is great. It sucks almost all the water up with 3 passes of the suck only mode. That thing has spin brushes and does such a good job all I need is hot water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cleaning tools, scrapers, cleaning solutions, steam vac, dry vacs...and a buttload of commitment. Oh heck yeah! Imagine two flying parrots, two toucans and two dogs. I recently bought a iRobot Roomba and a Mint. While the animals are in one room, the machines are cleaning the other. And I STILL have to sweep and mop constantly. Ahhh....what we do for love.
