I am using this technique with my cockatiel and it works! There are occasional accidents, but not very often. I put him on his stand about every 15-20 minutes and as soon as he is done (usually pretty much right away), he comes to the edge of the stand and reaches for me as if to say, "Okay mommy, I'm done! Time to play!" Then it's off to having fun for another 15-20 minutes. Sometimes he even stops playing himself and looks toward the stand as if he is saying "I gotta go!" when it is time.
aldlkj depends on the bird. they can be loud though. for me mine is very quite and only does an occasional chirp. but i really can’t say because it varies.
Same! Works for my 9 weeks old cockatiel too. But i figured this out before i watch this video lol. Just come here to confirm that birds are potty trainable.
@@littlemissstrange6853 @finn , thanks ^-^. Sorry I was rude, my English wasn't that good 3 years ago, in my native language that's not a rude way to ask something.
My Quaker Doby knew how to poop on command... I just learned to recognize his body language when he needed to go, and every time he did I'd hold him over whatever was convenient for him to poop into or on (usually an empty fast food bag) and after he went I'd say "Go poop" followed by "Good bird". He eventually got to the point where if I held him out on my finger and said "Go poop", he'd poop. This was especially convenient since he couldn't stand on a perch (he was an old bird, and with a crippled foot to boot) and spent all day on my shoulder or my chest... it saved me a lot of time cleaning shirts.
That’s VERY unhealthy and ALL vets says to NOT do it, don’t train your birds to poop on command, even the guy said it on the video, it can lead to them holding it for too long until you allow them to go, and cause digestive problems for them. What’s convenient for you may not be safe, kind or recommended for them. Put their needs first, not your convenience.
I trained my African Grey simply. Overtime I took her out of the cage I would hold her on my finger above her newspaper and wait. She would squeeze one out and then we would play. It was amazing how fast she learned. It got to the point she would almost do it on command.
My husband taught our green-cheek conure how to poop in her cage and she was well-trained her entire life. It's about timing in the beginning. Put the bird in its cage, wait, and then praise the bird and take it immediately back out again. You have to do this over and over at first, but then, as the person in this video says, the bird will make the connection. In fact, at one point, our bird would actually "fake" a poop if we had to put her back in her cage unexpectedly, so that she could come out. Very funny. She also had a special "urgent-sounding" peep that she would use if we lost track of time. Frankly, we found that she would still hold it if we slipped up until she got back on her cage perch.
hi everyone ,if anyone else wants to discover how to get your parrot to talk try Pycanta Parrot Tips Protocol (do a google search ) ? Ive heard some amazing things about it and my mate got great results with it.
My dad taught my bird to tell us when he needed to go lol. Jojo learned how to say "gotta go poopy" when he needed to go. (: of course he would try to poop off us if there were an accident and had to really go.
My bird I didn't have to teach it or anything he just does it,is that if I'm holding him he will walk to the edge of my hand or shoulder,and poop off the side so he won't go on me.
What if the parrot poops on my homework? "Class, why does this student have weird brown pellets on her assignment?" "I believe her pet pooped on it, teacher."
I'm gonna try to teach my cockatiel this, too. We have him for 2 weeks and he's realy attached to us, we're his first owners. He loves to cuddle and play with us so I hope it'll go good. Thanks for the tips 😊
@@natblidawitch214 Yes! But not from the original people we thought we'd be getting them from. They are two light green male budgies called Kermit and Pickles 💚
Really good advice and well explained. So many people buy a bird or two and expect them to be reliable like trained dogs, but it just doesn't work that way.
I was thinking that, if I get a bird and I want him to spend a long time on my shoulder, I should put a pad or a sheet or something on my shoulder so that gets dirty instead. Does that sound like a good idea or a bad idea?
csabo1725 True, but what if I train him to only poop on me if I'm wearing a specific article he may poop on, as previously mentioned? That might be very specific, but according to tutorials like these, you can teach your parrot to do a lot of specific things. What do you think?
LimeGreenTeknii If you're not willing to get pooped on you shouldn't be getting a parrot or a bird. Birds poop everywhere and if you're gonna get one you shouldn't be a clean freak lol. My birds poop on me all the time there's this thing called a "washing machine" you should try it out
my senegal learnt to say "poops" at a year and a half. he automatically associated it with needing to go to the bathroom.he now says "poops" when he needs to go. he also holds it for some times an hour at a time by choice.
Great Explained 😍🦜😃👍🏻I will use you’re video when we are going to teach our 2 greencheeck conures to go to the toilet on their designated place🤗👍🏻🤩 thanks
Awesome! Worked great for me - my Blue-Crowned Conure picked this up (almost) in a day - I just set a timer, first at 12 minutes, and slowly worked up until it seemed right at about 20 minutes (i.e. I get a decent poop). My family laughs, because she wants to be with me so badly, she will make every effort to poop to get back to me - you can see her trying to squeeze one out. How sweet, huh? LOL As long as I put her on a poop perch (one of 4 I have), I am poop-free. My only question: this has not *prevented* her from pooping on my shoulder if I forget - any suggestions on how to curtail that? I have tried using time-outs (e.g. putting her back on her poop perch for a while, or cage), but it doesn't seem to be helping. Any other ideas?
le me tip for u just teach ur bird to fly to you then to the perch at the time like after 12-15 min then it will learn to fly there by itself sooo its gunna take a while for you anyhow GL!
I have a problem, My African Grey does not want to potty inside his cage. Three months ago he used to go potty inside his cage just normal. Since he learned how to fly he stopped potting inside the cage and decided to only do it outside in his perch or in a chair where he stands... ANY IDEA HOW TO FIX THIS??? It is not good for him cuz he stays without going for the entire day cuz I work :( .. ANY TIPS PLEASE!!!
My quaker parrot loves me so much he tries to clean my hair all the time.i love him too but his poops are really hard to deal with any recommendations?
Hi this really helped my senagal parrot also i was wondering thot there is a parrot on top of your senagale parrot is that a senagle parrot or what type is it ?
thanks man. my mom have been angry because of the bird poop and she said she shouldn't have bought the pet. i made a fake tree and put paper under it and now my mom is happy again. (haha i think i treat my mom well)
I will probably try with with the bbies I am gonna hand rear. But with my birds now, I have put a wipe down and I tell them to poop and they just kinda poop. They haven't catched on completely but I'm trying to get them to poop on wipes or in the toilet. Like, my dad's bird voluntarily flew down and pooped in the toilet before flying back to my dad. We didn't have to place him down on the toilet or anything. But he's only done that the once. I think it helps to take them in to the toilet with you so they understand that's that where you go so they should go.
I have a conure that just doesn't like pooping on people. If he's on a person he'll either get off or bite them because he knows it gets him back to his cage. I didn't actively teach it do that, and learned he did that after he started.
Question: Since birds don’t want to do their business in their cages, what do they do while I’m gone? I mean, I do sometimes have to go places where I can’t bring a bird. Does it hold it in until I come home and put it on its poop perch? And what if I want to take my bird somewhere? Can I teach a bird to poop over a trash can? xD Or would bringing a small hand-held perch work?
Pet birds always have food and water available, Humans eat three times everyday and birds don't have a system, they just eat when they are hungry. Also I don't know where the different types of organs go or how bird's digestive system works, but the birds body must be much different than a humans, so they must digest quicker.
Hi i have a question how often do budgies pee and when you let the budgie fly in your room do they poop everywhere also can you potty train your budgie and do they make noise at night
I don’t have a stand and if I put him on the cage he poops everywhere and flies everywhere if I put him in the cage with the door open be immediately leaves the cage and if I lock the door he feels trap and stands next to the door begging me to open it I don’t want him to feel like I’m punishing him but I tried this and it won’t work anyways
I would like to get a cockatiel at some point, and this seems to work if you're with them most of the time, but what if i leave my house for a couple hours? If i put the bird in its cage when i leave, will it use the restroom on its own or will it just hold it in until i get back? If so that doesnt seem healthy. If i am there and i tell the bird to potty, but he doesn't, and i set him down on a perch or on/in his cage and leave him alone, will it use the restroom on/in its cage if i dont give it a command? Or will it just poop wherever it feels like it if i'm not constantly telling it to go potty every 15 minutes? if not that seems like a lot of work, like i would have to babysit it all the time. How do you get any work/housework done if you have to come running to let the bird out every 15 minutes?
how easy is it too teach them to go to their place to potty? if you get them out and lose track of time, and they need to go... so they just go to their place and potty? I know it's a slow process, but is that a reliable method?
This worked for my cockateil I noticed he was pooping in his water bowl so I put a plastic dish at the bottom of his cage with water in it now he only poops there try that
I have a budgie and he comes out to land on me and then poops on me and flies away… He consistently comes specifically to poop on me… How do I stop that and why does he do it?
Sir I will ask a question about Budgies ? I will buy a Budgies but I will open to fly around but fear that what process in to do my Budgies does not fly or always stay with me
My bird is a lovebird. He squats on the floor, and then I start to panic. I try to transfer him to the plain floor. (Easier to clean) mostly he poops in midair. But at least it’s not on my carpet.
Short Fuse Some people will "clip" the wings of their birds (really just cutting the flight feathers short) to prevent normal flight... They can still kind of glide really short distances like this, but its more like just being able to slow their fall. The actual clipping is usually done by a veterinarian who knows what they're doing (don't try this yourself lol). I've heard it is actually useful for training in some situations... not sure all the details of that. I usually don't have my birds clipped but I'm not really an expert so someone else might be able to give you a better "why you might consider clipping" lol. (Also, to be clear: the clipped feathers will be replaced by normal, full-sized feathers after the next molt and new feathers grow in. It is by no means permanent.) If you get a bird from a petstore or something, sometimes you might notice the wings are clipped already.
clipping is a common practice with parrots. you do need someone who knows what they are doing or do EXTENSIVE research yourself. But if you feel uncomfortable or not confident just take the bird to a vet. never cut any tail feathers or both cohorts on the wings. The answer of clipping or not clipping Is either yes or no. Research from credible website if your birds wings should be clipped for your scenario. most parrots do not need to be clipped. I only clipped my birds Wing once. I cut the 2nd cohort off but leave 3 feathers on the outside of the wing for cosmetic and to retain some flying ability. I clip 200-250 chickens year round which is good practise for parrots owned by a couple of friends
my parrot poop were ever he wants he would fly all the way to the third floor, hop on the carpet to my room and then poop on my bed after he will hop alllll the way to the first floor into his cage lol
I never trained my bird. I had him for a few months before he trained me. We could be playing nice and he would start chewing my ear. At first I was frustrated and I would put him back in his cage as a way to teach him not to chew. Then I noticed he would dump and his wings would do that 'I want out' flappy thing. So, he trained me. Doesn't work with the local wild birds though. When standing under a tree and looking up, keep your mouth closed.

Hey mate at what age should you start clicker training I have a baby alexandrine who is almost 4 months old should I start now?
would this also work for a diamond dove or cockatiel?
+Parrot Wizard does this technique work with all types of birds?
Question: Since birds don’t want to do their business in their cages, what do they do while I’m gone? I mean, I do sometimes have to go places where I can’t bring a bird. Does it hold it in until I come home and put it on its poop perch?
And what if I want to take my bird somewhere? Can I teach a bird to poop over a trash can? xD Or would bringing a small hand-held perch work?
The trash can is the same as the perch, pretty much.
any advice on where to get an appropriately raised Green cheek conure?
+Erin Crum Yeah, a breeder, not a pet store. Breeder's typically hand-raise their babies so that they get easily accustomed with being held

Good to know, I wanted a bird but wasn't sure if they could be trained
So they poop almost 100 times a day? How? Where does the waste even come from wtf

so 8400 times a YEAR! omg

Pet birds always have food and water available, Humans eat three times everyday and birds don't have a system, they just eat when they are hungry. Also I don't know where the different types of organs go or how bird's digestive system works, but the birds body must be much different than a humans, so they must digest quicker.

also can you potty train your budgie and do they make noise at night

My bird is a lovebird. He squats on the floor, and then I start to panic. I try to transfer him to the plain floor. (Easier to clean) mostly he poops in midair. But at least it’s not on my carpet.
Would it be a bad idea to get a bird if I have school from 6am-3pm?
what does he mean when he says "if their wings are not clipped"?do people do something to em to impede flight?
Short Fuse Some people will "clip" the wings of their birds (really just cutting the flight feathers short) to prevent normal flight... They can still kind of glide really short distances like this, but its more like just being able to slow their fall. The actual clipping is usually done by a veterinarian who knows what they're doing (don't try this yourself lol). I've heard it is actually useful for training in some situations... not sure all the details of that. I usually don't have my birds clipped but I'm not really an expert so someone else might be able to give you a better "why you might consider clipping" lol. (Also, to be clear: the clipped feathers will be replaced by normal, full-sized feathers after the next molt and new feathers grow in. It is by no means permanent.) If you get a bird from a petstore or something, sometimes you might notice the wings are clipped already.
Umbra yeah ive read a lil bit about it...sounds like a really,really bad idea...
Late comment but ya
+Ashlyn Tosh I have the same bird and he is 10 years old!
clipping is a common practice with parrots. you do need someone who knows what they are doing or do EXTENSIVE research yourself. But if you feel uncomfortable or not confident just take the bird to a vet. never cut any tail feathers or both cohorts on the wings. The answer of clipping or not clipping Is either yes or no. Research from credible website if your birds wings should be clipped for your scenario. most parrots do not need to be clipped. I only clipped my birds Wing once. I cut the 2nd cohort off but leave 3 feathers on the outside of the wing for cosmetic and to retain some flying ability. I clip 200-250 chickens year round which is good practise for parrots owned by a couple of friends
Great video
Will this work on other birds?
Does this work for budgies?
Me: I should get a parrot, let's see how to potty train it
Video: it poops every 15 minutes
Me: Nope.
Does that work on budgies?
where did you get that stand?
my parrot poop were ever he wants he would fly all the way to the third floor, hop on the carpet to my room and then poop on my bed after he will hop alllll the way to the first floor into his cage lol
thank you so much my cockatiel is actually learning!
I never trained my bird. I had him for a few months before he trained me. We could be playing nice and he would start chewing my ear. At first I was frustrated and I would put him back in his cage as a way to teach him not to chew. Then I noticed he would dump and his wings would do that 'I want out' flappy thing. So, he trained me. Doesn't work with the local wild birds though. When standing under a tree and looking up, keep your mouth closed.
What age do you start
