How to potty train your parrot

[Hdi6nuN38g]

My parret poops every where

[deadman51139]

i have a parrot thats scared of the paper what do i do

[guyanaguy7512]

Crap on command or die

[coolboy343]

ye but we cant be there all the time forcing em to shit tho...

[kjsacramento]

Mine can poop on command too, but that doesn't prevent them from pooping everywhere else if not constantly watched. My first bird was easy to train to the bathroom and to a paper bag by my chair until I got a second pet. Then when I got another bird she went back to being wild until she got ready to have eggs. She then wouldn't poop in her cage at all and immediately dropped a large load when outside the cage and the male took on the behavior too. Now I am starting over on constant watch.

The easiest way is to turn your bird upside down and grab him by the neck. Then firmly squeeze the bird whilst moving your fingers up towards the feet, kind of like a tube of toothpaste. This should ensure that all the excrement is expelled when YOU want it to be, reducing the chance of accidents.For better results try doing this under water.

lol amazing, ima train my bird so when im pissed at someone i can tell my bird go poo on the dudes head lolz XD!

[donnyrossi]

This is so wrong and dangerous for a parrot ! i hope no one does this to their bird !

[killbotfelwick]

@donnyrossi its not dangerous to potty train a parrot..... And everyone tries to get their parrots to do this, its part of being a housebroken pet. Housebroken pets live longer than they would in the wild, by almost twice the age.

[kjsacramento]

@killbotfelwick I think the danger comment was meant for the dude who thinks his bird should be squeezed like a toothpaste tube. Horrible treatment of the bird!

[jojothedog1234]

The title says how to train.... so where is the how part?

[duncandonutsert]

when i put them on the napkin then they poo how they r going to know that they dont poo until i pu them up a napking?

[rockybeach1]

@duncandonutsert

no in there cages they go at free will just trained when I think they got to go outside of there cage kind of a pooty command if they got to go

[melikescookies]

@rockybeach1 no part of that sentence made sense to me haha

[comandermalander456]

Parrot: Can't get...... the poop out.....

[kjsacramento]

@comandermalander456 Not healthy to make the bird strain. If they love you, they will try to please you and strain.

[comandermalander456]

@kjsacramento Huh? That was a joke :| lol

[MultiMuffin123]

have you trained your parrot to when you say go poop they go poop :D?

[92benno92]

WHERE'S THE PREVIOUS PART!?

.. You know .. where you tell us 'how to'?

[binashraf]

yeh, but if he's flying around free in the house, he will poop when he feels like it, he wont wait for you to come to tell him to poop will he? no?

or does he look for a tissue to poop on?

[LYLTjohnny]

they will generally return to the place that u have taught him to go at. and they shouldnt be free flying around a house with out you anyway

[mshrum555]

hey uh,i believe this video was supposed to show how to potty train your parrot?

[joewaterlily]

I have just got an Indian Ringneck that seems to be terrified whenever anyone approached it's cage. He's about 6 months old. He will always rush to the opposite side of the cage, screeching if he sees you approaching. I've recently started letting him free to fly around the room to get used to us, he seems to like being on top of our large plasma TV. But he still flies up to the curtain rail if anyone approaches, and back down to the TV when you withdraw.

Any ideas how to curb this behaviour?

[ZamaniSahib]

You could fast the bird, then hold food in your hand and eventually it'll get hungry enough to come and eat from your hand?

[lforsdyke]

@ZamaniSahib with some birds that might never work, and then they end up starved to death.

[kjsacramento]

@ZamaniSahib A bird can die quickly if you starve them. That is a stupid suggestion.

[ZamaniSahib]

@kjsacramento I have since learned a great deal and my lil parakeet is doing just fine ^^.

[lforsdyke]

@joewaterlily  tried the power pause? if not look it up, real simple and very effective, my budgie was the same, it took half an hour, and he was from a huge aviary (not young either) and had never been handled

[whydonpiano]

why is his shit so small

[tigress0786]

Go figure ... it's a parrot, genius.

[drolebol]

what do you do if you're teaching it and sometimes he does poo somewhere else. how to tell them that they shouldn't do it where they want?

i have a lovebird

[rockybeach1]

its okay if they make a few mistakes when potty training just be patient and consistant they will learn eventually .

[Ninjaboyz128]

i lol'd wtf he shits on command? how is that possible ._.

[rockybeach1]

you have to know when he ate last and what he ate and of course he has to poop so very possible you really have to know your bird well.

[pokealong1227]

lol most of the time my parakeet,(who we just found out is a guy lol) max flies into his cage and goes to the bathroom when he needs to

[wataprincezauqaria]

the title of this vid is how to potty train your bird, you showed us the potty train but u 4got the ''how to'' part

[tamra1975]

@wataprincezauqaria i was gonna say the same thing. all it shows is that your bird poops on command. it doesnt tell you how to train it to potty where its supposed to.

[bruises02]

I have read many articles on teaching your bird to be potty trained, but none of them every explained how to do it. Could you tell me how you taught your bird to do that?

[rockybeach1]

like the video more or less when you think your bird has to go hold them over napkin and paraise them when they do the task and be consistant and patient if they mesaage up.

[tinkfromheaven]

Yep, but my african grey's favoite thing to say is, "go poop." She even says it on cue on the telephone to anyone when I hold the phone up to her beak.

"Go poop." What a bird!

[rockybeach1]

fantastic to hear  greys are so smart

[Birdandhorselover]

Thats great, how did you teach it to do that?

[porschecarreragtmay6]

If only my sun conure JoJo liked to sit on my finger LOL! Five stars.
