Potty Training Parrots

Sunkiss' good potty training example,

Ask if you have any specific questions :)

Few Training Tips

1. Start in the morning, before your parrot has done its 'big' potty

2. Take your parrot to the desired location you want in to go potty

3. Tell your parrot to 'go potty' or 'tinkle' or whatever command you want your bird to go potty to, I use the made up word 'brons'

4. It shouldn't take your bird very long to go potty so keep your bird there until it goes

5. Praise your bird tons, make it feel like he/she has done the best thing in the world!

6. Repeat this every morning, and when you have it out of the cage try to take it to the potty location every 15 minutes or so... or just watch for it to do its potty dance and take it to the desired location. If you pay close attention you will soon be able to recognize when your parrot is ready to go, and if you notice fast enough you can hold your birds tail down and take it to the potty location before it goes and repeat steps 2-5

have fun, your bird should get some grasp on this within 72 hours or less, and become a pro in a couple weeks.

My girl flies to her potty location when she has to go potty, so now I don't have to even take her there.
