Can you stand another pooping story? The previous owners of my Moluccan
cockatoo (Jay) also had an umbrella cockatoo (Murphy). They successfully
trained Murphy to the command of "Potty, Murphy." Murphy wasn't allowed
out of her cage until she had done her business. Soon they were
mystified as to why Murphy was trying so hard to obey with no results.
The reason turned out to be that Jay learned how to say "Potty, Murphy"
and was happily giving her the command before the humans could. Ha!Ha!
My Timneh Grey is potty trained but I can't say I really did anything
to train her. She wiggles her tail and waits until I can get some paper
under and then responds to "Poop, Dori." I really think she was the one
who trained me. TTYL, Mary Ann
