Well we certainly know that around here and yet I think one of the "highlight, gross out" moments for all kids that visit the Learning Center is when a bird poops in the middle of a presentation! That gets almost as much reaction as when Smurf yells "help" or when Pepper plays the piano...only the reactions are a little different. It's pure laughter and glee when they see fun behaviors and it's pure disgust/laughter when they see a "poop happen".
Do you have any funny poo stories to share???? Come on, how many places can you talk about this topic and fit in! :)
Ok! I literally just finished writing this post when Jessica walks up to me with a big poo down the front of her shirt, again from Wasabi the Green Aracari (I almost felt like I willed this to happen to her!). But, we all may as well get a chuckle out of her bad luck! Sorry Jessica! :)
Wish I had a funny story about poop. My green cheek conure, Phoebe, has incredibly good poop etiquette. She will NOT poop on me if she can at all avoid it. (She's even nipped gently if I try to move her to my shoulder when she is looking for a place that isn't on my person so she can go.) Most recently, I'm training her to "go potty." With my first cockatiel tika, he would "go" on command, wherever he was. With my gcc Phoebe, she hasn't grasped that concept. But if I notice she has to go, I interrupt her and take her to her cage. When I say, "go potty" then, she does. It's very useful. (I've heard some birds are TOO well trained and they won't/can't go unless they are told to. That would be a bad thing.)
