Gotta be careful, if they fall in the toilet, they might drown. Parrots
can’t swim. Early on we taught our gray to ‘poop’ on command by saying the
word whenever he pooped. Later he started saying it himself as he went,
then, I got him to say it before he did it by getting to him as he started
to squat, then repeatedly saying it before he did it by getting him to step
up (keeping him busy so he didn’t poop yet), he automatically steps up when
a finger is placed in front of him. Bingo; a parrot that tells you he’s
about to poop, and you have time to get him back to his cage door (ours is
like a drawbridge, has a plastic mat under to catch the poop). Just don’t
say the word if he’s sitting on your shoulder! Even another person saying
it can trigger the bird to dump on you!

Really bad idea to potty train a bird. A bird can’t hold it. It’s
unhealthy. They have to go when they have to go, there is no waiting, and
it’s where-ever they happen to be. The longer the bird waits, the more
toxins build up in their body. They have VERY efficient bodies(more
efficient than ours), and thus toxins must be excreted as soon as possible.
If you can’t handle bird poop, don’t have them. Plain and simple.

I have an African Grey too and since the first day we got her Every time
she poops we just say “poop”. She eventually learns what it means. Now we
can hold her over the toilet or trash say “poop” and if she has to go
(which is usually a yes since birds poop often) she goes.

They are really smart birds! Instinct tells them to go randomly, but just
like us- they can be trained to control the behavior of pooping! If you
know your own bird’s poop routine and don’t ask it to hold it in then I say
this is a cool thing! I’ve seen a few websites and videos on this so I
believe it’s true!

Mine does the same thing… I call it “sqwushing down”. They essentially
compress themselves like a closed accordion to take the bowel movement.
