Potty training a parrot — myth or reality?

Someone told me you can potty train a parrotlet to go on command or at least go in a designated spot. Is this real?? Because I am SO tired of being pooped on every 20 minutes. Sky has impeccable timing — always right after I put on clean clothes.

Absolutely love hearing success stories! This gives me so much hope for me and Skittles. Thank you for sharing!

I've had birds for 15 years and I've seen this many times. In my experience it usually comes down to a subtle environmental change you might not even notice.

Totally agree with this! My Senegal parrot is exactly the same way.

I joined a bird owners meetup group in the GTA — great way to get in-person advice and let the birds socialize. Check Facebook groups!

I used to think the same thing until my umbrella cockatoo proved me wrong. Now I'm firmly in the other camp.
