Interesting problem.  At that advanced stage, all I could think of would be 
getting a tape recording (one of those endless loop ones) and have it fire 
off every hour or half hour, so the bird would hear the potty command enough 
times to eliminate frequently enough to keep its colon (or bird-equivalent) 
from becoming distended or suffering fecal impaction.
I wouldn't know how to "un-train" a bird that was trained that efficiently in 
that regard.
