Wow, that's something!! Lola stays put all night when she sleeps. She also does NOT poop at all when she sleeps-- she has her morning "bomb." How interesting?!
Truman has a morning bomb like that too. That's what he stepped in. If I can get him out of the cage before he wakes up, he can do it on an out of cage perch over a newspaper. But lately he's been waking up before me and that's the issue. Normally he stays put but this time he decided to smear it all over the cage.
I think the stepping in it is a Cape thing. Scooter is overall MUCH messier, but he never steps in his poop and tracks it around ... I've give Scotty several foot baths, I've never had to wash Scooter's feet for him!
The morning bomb, though, that's a parrot thing. And tiny Scooter's is bigger and badder than Scotty's!
