I have an 11 year old conure who I used to be able to keep out of his cage all day every day with no problem, he was only caged at night.
But I also a large rabbit condo in my room, he never used to go on it but ever since mid last year he's been flying on it & he poops all over it & I don't want my bunnies getting his poop stuck in their fur, which has happened a couple times. It's made of wood so its getting very stained. I now have to cage my conure whenever I'm out of my room for an hour or more. He knows I don't want him on it, he won't go on it if I'm in the room but I'll walk in & catch him flying off from it & there will be lots of poop everywhere.
I wouldn't mind him going on it if he wouldn't poop there, so I either need to train him to know he can never go on it, not even when I'm not there or train him that if he needs to poop, he needs to fly to his cage & do it. Any tips on how to train him to do one of the two?
