Tari Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 How many is to many? or is there such thing. All my birds have 2 to 4 toys and then I have a box of toys that I use to change them out every 2 weeks. Usually each bird has a favorite if not at least one toy I like best that they keep at all times. I was just wondering if maybe the school of thought about not overwhelming your bird with toys has changed?<br><br>Post edited by: Tari, at: 2008/02/22 14:09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamelessmuse Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Greyce currently has 4 toys in her cage and a bowl with various foot toys. One she hasn't paid much attention to though. I think for her (a petiet TAG) 3 is perfect, 4 with a small one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Josey has 6 toys in her cage at the moment but her cage is large so it can accommodate them and I have a storage box with additional toys I rotate in and out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spookyhurst Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Nikko doesn't touch a single toy in her cage. I guess she thinks they are for decoration purposes only :huh:. However, move the toys out of the cage and to her gym, and she destroys them. I guess she considers her cage as only a sleeping quarters (she doesn't poop in it either).

Tari Posted February 21, 2008 Author Share Posted February 21, 2008 OH dear. I have heard of people whose birds won't poop in the cage. Which can be a really problem if you work full time. I read somewhere that one lady had to call her house and tell her bird to go poop on the machine. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siobha9 Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Gosh Liath and Oisin poop anywhere and everywhere! They have a couple of toys each in their cages, and lots and lots of dog/baby toys they play with when they are out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMustee Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Elmo won't poop in his cage unless it is an emergencey. I work a full time job and a part time job and on the days I work both I come home for about 30 minutes to play with him because otherwise I would be gone from 6am to 9pm...but the first thing we do is go to the toilet when I get home. I have had a few days that I could not return home...the last time was when i had inventory and was gone from 6am to midnight. He let it out when he knew I wasn't coming home for his potty break. The rule on toys I go by is as many as you can get in without over filling. There should still be space for all out wing flapping. I have 5 toys in Elmos cage and he is able to flap without coming close to hitting any of them...although most of his toys are hanging on the top and it's a pretty bid cage.

spookyhurst Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Not only will Nikko not poop in her cage (she sometimes goes to bed as early as 7 PM and gets up at 8 AM), she won't even poop in the room her cage is in (our bedroom). If I'm the bedroom doing something, and Nikko is on her playtop, I have to take her to another room for poop breaks. She has no problem pooping all over the rest of the house though .

judygram Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 Josey will poop in her cage and anywhere she happens to be, sometimes I think that if she didn't poop in her cage that would be great but there would be times that would not work too great, like when I was late getting home.B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovemyGreys Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 Geez my 5 poop anywhere, thats alot of poop :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 I guess 5 of them make for a lot of poop doesn't it Tracy, how many times a day do you go around the bird room and clean up that mess? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamelessmuse Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 Greyce has no poop issues, other than anywhere is fair fame...she is one poopy bird! She does only go in two spots in her cage though. Makes it nice to know where I can put her toy box in the bottom. I hope that once we get a good bond I can potty train her so I don't have to have a towel all over me when I hold her;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shazbaby36 Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 both of mine like to poop anywhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 I used to have to do that with Josey, have a towel on me to catch the poops, but now I recognize the pre dump stance and can get her to a trashcan for poops and she will take her dump and then look to see where it landed.:laugh: :lol: :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamelessmuse Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 Judy, I wish I was fast enough...but we go from poop stance to pooping in .2 seconds!:laugh: I tried the other day and was left with a gift on the carpet! Which were cleaned today with my handy bissel while the critters hung out in the back bedroom.B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronda477 Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 OMG girls! I at first didn't see anything about poop and couldn't figure out why it was in the title. Than I read down and now I know why. Funny thing is the only reason I even looked is cause no matter how mad I get anyone can say "poop" and I bust out laughing. It's like the magic word lol. Hubby can make me mad and than he'll just say it and I can't help it, it's just the way it sounds. I have always been that way. LMAO ok sorry that had nothing to do with this post Tari soo sorry! I can't stop laughing poop and poop stances Oh my ya'll are just too funny!{Feel-good-0002006E} Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talon Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 Spooky, Niko sounds a lot like Talon. They both behave in the same manner. Sleeps 11-12 hours. Never has pooped in her sleep cage. Won't poop in her play cage. She has a morning potty basket she will poop in as long as I get her to it in time when she gets out of her sleeping cage. Other than that, she likes to hang out on the back of my kitchen chairs and poop off the back! :pinch: BTW Cool signature line!! :woohoo:<br><br>Post edited by: Talon, at: 2008/02/23 17:43 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danmcq Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 Dayo is a member of the "Poop everywhere" Club. I try to catch and move him when possible to train him to go over the trash can or play-stand, but most the time I'll say "Good Boy, You pooped" he looks down at the Poop, looks at me and seems to say, AND....SO?

judygram Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 I think I had a thread about that but I love the way they look at that poop once they have dropped it, they turn their head and look at it like saying, "Wow would you look at that":laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are so much alike . Nikko has a thing for pooping off the back of kitchen chairs too. The only problem is when her butt is over the seat side :sick:. My Xbox and I have become best friends, so I thought he better be in my sig. He writes a blog about me too . He really rails against me when I don't play, but we have a 20 day streak going, so he's quite pleased: http://www.360voice.com/tag/spookyhurst Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
