It is disaster, for yourself and you end up having a cancelled date. But not only for these silly reasons but for reasons of your hose’s cleanliness and sanitary well being you need to potty rain your parrot. Here we will discuss a few of the points that you have to keep in mind to train your parrot. For full details regarding this training you can get our parrot training newsletter and potty train your bird in no time at all.
How frequently does your bird poop?
The first thing that you need to know is the interval of your bird pooping. You have to anticipate the need of your parrot to go for potty to train them successfully. Check exactly how much time they take for their first poop after a meal and when they take the successive ones after that. Usually small sized parrots poop every ten to twenty minutes while larger parrots like cockatoos take about two long hours to do the same. Birds usually have a tendency of not pooping overnight and therefore their first poop of the day is very large and somewhat smelly. But this is one major check point that you have to clear.
Which behaviour leads to pooping?
Take a serious note of this and every time that you check how frequently your parrot poops try to see how they behave just before pooping. If you get to catch on in this secret then you will get to from the way they are behaving whether or not they are about to poop. Usually birds have been found to behave in a combination of squats and lifting of wings to prepare for pooping and ultimately poop. Certain birds are however particular about pooping from a height and will move to the highest position they can access to poop. So when you see your bird exhibiting these specific behaviours then it is going to poop and therefore get out of the way and get others out of the way too. Some birds also get antsy and start moving up and down in ant like motions which show that they are going to do potty. So keep your eye out for all the signals.
Where would you want your bird to do potty?
Think about the place that you would like your parrot to be potty trained into coming to as and when they feel like going to potty. You can train the parrot to potty when over a waste basket or dust bin or even over a waster news paper. Training by using a phrase is also quite effective. You say the phrase and your bird does potty. To train it this way you need to take them over to the place for pooping and hold them while they poop in it. on doing this for a number of times your bird will automatically understand and will come over there whenever it feels like pooping.
So potty train your parrot and get rid of undue harassment at anytime.
