-=> Quoting Bill Brown to Pete Hopping <=-
 BB> I don't know how old Your bird is but it still shouldn't be A problem
 BB> to potty train. All birds go at regular intervals. Whatch and time the
 BB> bird for  A  couple of days first. then pick one spot that the bird is
 BB> to use for that  purpose. when it comes close to that time take the
 BB> bird to that spot and use  whatever comand You wish for that purpose,
 BB> (I tell mine to take A dump). Leave the bird there untill it does It's
 BB> thing then praise the bird and  continue playing. In two weeks or less
 BB> the bird will realise what You want it  to do and will go to that spot
 BB> or tell You that it is ready to be taken to  that spot. Most people do
 BB> not realize that most pet birds have the learning  ability of A three
 BB> year old child or better and this is one of the most easy  things to
 BB> teach. I have taught three bird this now and My present Pet will  tell
 BB> Me that even when it is on top of It's cage or in the car.
Excellent! Thank you very much! I couldn't figure out where to start on
potty-training my bird. She's a 7 month-old Moluccan and she appears to
be extremely smart - if the way she's picking up words is any indication.
