I was trying to teach my parrot how to potty train but he don't get it. Michael I want you to put another video on how to train him about that he just go anywhere he likes and the clicker problem I used to have a clicker then it broke and now I cant buy a new one because it is costly in our country what should I do? Can I use anything else instead.

While michaels training can be beneficial and I can see its uses... If you don't want mess, a parrot isn't the greatest thing in the world. Their poops don't smell and clean up quite easily so its not such a big deal. A little wet wipe and its fine. It's not like a dog poop and its not a big deal.

I have one that's toilet trained and one that isn't, we've tried and tried but he just couldn't get the hang of it so I left it. I just clean up after him once he's been out or as he goes and its perfectly fine.


By all means carry on but is it really the end of the world if he doesn't learn?

It would be great if he could! George is a lost cause I think but I don't mind!

Sometimes I think we get to a point where we have to accept they are animals and they will tend to do things as they wish. Edmund sometimes protests by pooping when he's not supposed to and then announcing he is a 'good boy'. He has a sense of irony at least :p
