Also to add! I have a GCC and he's trained to poop only on his stand or cage! He still has the odd accident but he's REALLY good about it. The way I did it was time how long between poops when he's put with me. Then the next day I started putting him on the stand, saying go poop, and waiting. When he pooped I would instantly reward him by bringing him back onto my shoulder now it's been over a year. He flies to his perch or cage to poop then flies back over! It just takes a bit of paitence and rewarding but they are really smart and get it quickly.

Wow! That’s great! What is a GCC? I want to get some tame parrots in the future and I will be letting them out so it would be great if I could train them the same way you did. How long do you think it took for him to understand?

My hack for 32 years of owing a parrot - I hung a curtain rod above and behind my birds cage and hung a sheet from it (with curtain clips) to protect my wall from flung food and watcher splashes. Once a month I hung a new sheet and tossed the old one in the wash. Much easier than trying to wash walks!

I would collect the feathers and donate them to an avian vet for imping procedures. It can save lives! I only keep maybe one or two nice feathers from each bird to remember them by. I don't feel that you need their feathers to remember them... taking photos of them is another great way to keep their memories, as well as keeping them in your heart. :)

My son just got a cockatiel, and I have upcycled an old t-shirt with long sleeves: I have sewn a lot of old, shiny, colourful buttons (saved from old clothes before tossing them out) on it. Now he wears it whenever he takes out his bird, so it protects his other clothes AND the bird loves to climb around on him and nibble around on the buttons. A perfect 2-in-1 use. 😁

I don't use disposable cage liners anymore. I just got a couple of those cheap polar fleece blankets you see on sale in the fall for couches. Polar fleece doesn't really fray so all you do is cut it to the size of the tray. And there ya go! Washable, reusable, whatever pattern you want, ect. Just shake them out over the trash (or, honestly, I just shake the solids off in my yard) and toss it in the wash or rinse in the sink and hang dry.

I recently discovered pressure washing and it’s the greatest thing. Of course it’s not an all the time option but every few months I can take the cages outside one at a time and pressure wash all those little corners that are hard to get with brushes and cloths. It’s just fantastic, definitely recommend.

She's also occasionally going to the rubbish bins by herself to poop. I think I lucked out big time xD

I have a hack that makes cleaning my 8 cages fast. I bought a 1,000 foot roll of brown paper, 24” wide, and I put that on top of the metal grate. I no longer have to scrub them. I can clean 8 cages in less than 10 minutes. Once a month, I steam clean all the sides and perches and toys. I let poop in the parrot room dry, use a scraper to lift up the drooping, sweep up everything and then wash the floor. I use glass or ceramic ramekins as dishes for all my birds. I have 2 sets of the dishes so I can put the dirty dishes in the sink to clean later and take out the clean ones and lay them on the cart. Then I load up the food and wheel the cart into the bird room. I have a bottled water dispenser in there. I fill each water dish and pair it up with the food dish, then do my stewardess bit by loading up each cage with the appropriate dishes. I have 3 GCCs, 2 Moustache Parakeets, a Quaker, a Brown head and an orange winged Amazon. I make all their toys because the only one they seem to like, sometimes, are the sola kebab pieces. I stopped buying toys when not one of my birds even looked at them. But, put measuring spoons together with the flat parts facing and they go nuts. I use cupcake liners to make pompom balls, paper cups and straws to make foraging toys and I stock up each Easter with shredded paper used in baskets and I buy all I can before it disappears. A paper cup, cut with 4 slits, stuffed with shred, with a nutriberry in it, or a nut, and then punch some holes in the top, one in the bottom and get a zip tie, a bead and go through the bottom hole and through the holes at the top (it’s easier to do this first), and zip it closed. All my birds love this. For conures up, boxes on top of the cage will keep them busy designing their new condo complex. I have a climbing net that covers the ceiling and part of a wall in the bird room. I have a big play stand at one end of the 20’ living room and a smaller one (table top one) near where I sit in the living room. All my birds are flighted.

Daniel had the most incredible sea blue, turquoise eyes!!, much like Danny boy's colocolor!..

Baby wipes, though... Really great for cleanup. You can use one baby wipe multiple times over the course of a couple of hours before having to throw it away. Technically using anything that you need to wash to re-use may not end up being more eco friendly than using toilet paper. Water is a precious resource too.

You can easely wash them and it is a little bit bigger then the makeup wipes. - My birds tend to have there favorite poop-space. If it is a good spot to make poop-safe with some newspaper, I incurage it, put some newspaper underneath it and even make it more atractive with some toys. If it is not a good spot, I make it less atractive so they can find themselves an other spot.

I need some help and/or advice… my mom and I got a lovebird, and I love it so much! I managed to gain its trust pretty quickly and I felt like we had a great bond. But then it started to constantly fly on top of the curtains. My mom doesn’t like it, and whenever it flies up there she tells me to take it away from there. And ever since, it has started avoiding me and bites me when I get close. I feel like my chances of having a great bond with Noxy is ruined just because my mom is afraid of having to wash her curtain a little more than usual. I think it hates me now and I don’t know what to do

The other nice thing about printed paper like newspaper or circulars is the ink helps to retard bacterial growth. So in every way they are better than the commercial products.

I actually love the last tip so much I just got a conure and I already love him to death his name is link (from legend of Zelda) and I would miss him so much and will so be doing that with his molted feathers 😁 everything else was also extremely helpful especially the poop cleaning tips so many shirts have been lost 😞 because of link I might as well tidy them up and use them as my bird shirt

I have been using vinegar for such a long time , I use it after putting them in their cage to clean up I also use old toothbrushes to clean cage bars, food bowls, toys, etc (make sure u wash them well before hand)

Great video. Thank you for sharing. I've had my GCC since 2019. He is a great guy (boy)... but now I need to move and I unfortunately cannot take him with me. He is very special to me and I don't want to just sell him to some random people. Would like to make sure that who ever gets him, will care for him... Any suggestions? Thank you.

I actually recently began to do the ice cubes! I used to just put my huge batch in zip bags but it was sometimes an inconvenience as it wasn’t anyways easy to get a chunk off. Having a poop shirt is also something I do, and having pads or paper always available is a really good idea!

In my area they don't allow newspaper or circulars in the Compost bin. I use inexpensive wrapping tissue paper from the dollar store with a top layer of the repurposed glass-wrapping paper that you mention (it's the perfect size!).

Thanks for this video! At what point should I take my budgies out of their cage? They seem like they don’t want to leave the cage but I want them to get more exercise. I’ve had them for about a week.
