Doug Swink yeah I wouldn’t recommend a cockatoo for your first bird, I would recommend a budgie or a cockatiel! I have both and I have an amazing experience with them, if you want any tips you are more than welcome to ask! :)
What type of bird?? I rescued a pigeon years ago I found him on the streets of Dublin kids put an elastic band on the wing so it fell off from loss of blood supply poor bird still dreams of flying but he thinks he is a parrot he's gas with the cats who were kittens when we got him, he jumps on our huge Tom cat who lies back to let the pattot/pigeon Do his little I've attached you moves then scrapers so the cat can chase him when new ppl see them they think the cats about to eat the bird it gets rough but I've never seen dextors nails out ..I should try catch it on film but there sly about it sneaking to the kitchen when no one's looking for a role in the hay
you might wanna use a schedule when giving birds food. some birds get so spoiled that they eat 24 hours even when not hungry and as a result they poop too soon and all times. I have been told to remove my birds food for specific times to limit some birds from overeating. also, if your bird is so bored he would find only food to entertain even when not hungry. to limit this problem you should give him other activities to perform and other games to play and not making food everything to the bird.
I’ve been watching so many of your videos lately, they’re so useful !! I’m planning on getting a cockatiel in the near future, I’m watching so many videos to be prepared and I really love everything you do, keep going !! :D
This is really great info! As a parent of 6 children and now a parent of feather babies it’s interesting how similar some of the techniques are in some cases. There’s a method of potty training young babies called elimination communication. You start right after birth. You pay attention to your baby’s cues that they show before eliminating. Then when they begin to show they are ready you hold them over a toilet or potty chair and say whatever words you use for peepee or poopy. This method is used all over the world.
People that attack other ppl online are trolls and have many more issues than whatever they’re barking about plz pay them no mind what they say means nothing....thank you for all your hard work and dedication and advocation, I learn a lot from you every video, you’re awesome and your birds are beautiful too!
Not certain about the points made but ,if anyone else is searching for parrot trainer try Pycanta Parrot Tips Protocol (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now ) ? Ive heard some incredible things about it and my colleague got amazing results with it.
Thank you for the information. I wish you were around 18 years ago. I would have learned so much from you about my 18 year old mustache parrot named Mookie. He is bilingual and such a talker. I was shock when you said Picasso doesn't talk. I love love my Mookie. Everytime, I see Picasso, It's like seeing Mookie. Bless your Picasso. He is too cute...
Awe look at you with Picasso. Before Picasso cane into the vidio I really thought this was a new post. And another WOW, I cannot believe how many years I have followed you and your life with your precious flock family. But,....like what the Heck do you have some secret Fountain of youth you bath in because you havent aged 1 tiny bit Maybe it's in your family Gene's. And I Love Love that tshirt with Rocky on it You've Come Along Way Baby. And it no secret why. 😘
I have a Vinny named Lorenzo. Let's Vent - When Lorenzo did bird doo while playing with my husband, husband would say in a bird voice "mom had to poop", which was my clue to come clean up the bird doo. At the same time, I was working on training Lorenzo to fly to the swing perch over the kitchen sink to take care of business while out of the cage. The smart bird combined both efforts and started flying to the swing perch over the sink, doing his business and squawking 'mom, had to poop'. Not thrilled with my galah vocalizing, 'mom, had to poop' each time bird doo occurred, we change up the language... now it is 'vent mom vent'. Both husband and bird use this phrase to notify me of bird doo occurrences. While engaged out of his cage, the swing perch over the sink is always the favorite to retreat to for venting and singing 'vent mom vent', unless in direct play with my husband, wherever it occurs is 'fun' for both, as they each call out to me 'vent mom vent'. I come with the wipe and clean up the droppings, they 'giggle' and continue their play together, the rest of the time venting and squawking 'vent mom vent' takes place over the sink. @Marlene Mc'Cohen, if it was not for you, I would have never guessed birds could be potty trained. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!
Thank you for all the informations that you gave us with your videos ! All your videos (old and new) give us good tools to treat birds like they deserved ! Hope you will be for long on UA-cam !! Xx
If the birds can fly, or the cage is close enough, can they take themselves to potty or do you have to carry them every time? Asking because I want a budgie and these dudes poop every 15 minutes
I really want a bird I don't indeed cleaning up after it but I am a little nervous since I live in an apartment an have 1 tween and a toddler that the mess could be too much this helped a lot knowing that I dont have to worry about poop everywhere if I train properly
Thank you for valuable info on 🦜’s , owners, and to people who don’t understand bird life, but appreciate opportunity to learn! Marlene, you should be proud of the positive production y’all collaborate on. Well done 💙💛💚💜❤️🧡 🌹
I had a Halfmoon Conure for 26 years that pooped only 2-3 times per day. Potty training really wasn't even necessary with her. However the Blue Crown I have now must poo every 10 minutes. It's completely insane how much and how often this one poops!
Great info! I figured this out by trial and error and initially it was tough not to react negatively when my lovebird would go on me, and he obviously didn’t know what to do if I got upset so I watched him and would set him down occasionally to see if he would go. Once he went I praised him and picked him up, and I would approximate the time when he was likely to need to go, setting him down and telling him to poop, then praising and picking him up once he went. It was hit or miss to start off, however he learned fairly quickly and so it’s been great since then. The biggest challenge is to try and do this when he’s on my shoulder since I can’t see when he goes and I get preoccupied and forget to set him down.
I have aparrot like your's named Robin and his age is 1 month. I am surprised that I did not train him potty. But he do not potty on me rather he wait for a paper to potty.
I felt attached last night, so I've been looking for my bird for ages, I finally found a great breeder here cos let's face it there's not many birds in Ireland, so I found a breeder laying started end of January I've searched for a rescue I offered to fly parrot rescue ppl to Ireland but all said I was two far away to be able to help.. And I've been hurt thinking young birds were home alone all day with no toys, it was upsetting and there was no birds it was an attempt at the shipping scam, not something I'd fall for as I've spoke to the best brid transport company in the world and he was prepared to help me get these rescues to Ireland... So excited I'd finally found a breeder for next season chick, and all I got was that's mean try rescue like it wasn't the first thing I tried, plus I live between Ireland and Bulgaria, I need a bird who can get used to long car trips so any birds I take care of will need papers to travel between the 2, I've a little farm there. But I just love that ppl assume that I didn't try that rirst.. So I did think I'd have to stick with the blue and gold and I wouldn't have minded but I've been offered a harlaquin cgick not even laid yet if this is my bird it will happen if the university has a better plan that wil happen first
Been waiting to hear how to do this! Thanks! Where did you get those chains and ropes? I need to get some for my GW Macaw. He loves those plastic chains.
I’m not a first time bird owner but anyways I’m getting my baby Hahn’s Macaw in around January and am really preparing extra for her. I’m getting a brand new cage, new toys, brand new diet etc... Your videos pretty much help me organize on what to do when I get her. Thanks!
I've watched so many of your videos and this question has been bugging me 'How do they not crap all over the house!??!' Thanks so much for clearing this up. The issue has prevented me from having any more birds, so maybe I can manage this training too!! namaste
Learn to observe the bird's behavior just before they poop; this means you have to watch your bird closely when it gets close to the time that he's due to poop. If you see them start to squat, say something to slightly stop them, get them to 'up' and sit them on a perch or cage door. Then let them poop while saying whatever word you want them to understand as meaning poop. We used 'poop' because it's not a common word said. 'sh*t' isn't good, because someone might say it while the bird is on your shoulder, and well, you know what will happen. We didn't use potty because it sounds like body and our friend's name Dotty. It takes a while. but it will be worth it to have a bird that won't be pooping on you all the time. After a while, your bird will poop on command, as well as say it just before he does it, so you also have a warning if he's sitting on you as to what's coming.
I just posted a video on cockatiels, essentially the video was about pros vs cons and just common things with them. I'm linking this in the description because I don't know much about potty training myself and I knew you were the best person to explain ^^
I have my Quaker potty trained, she was easy, just took her every 20 mins, sometimes she goes sometimes I have to look for clues, if she starts to go I say don't potty on me and she won't she will wait until I take her, which Is right away, it nice not having to worry about getting pooped on. Hoping soon she will start telling me!
Great video! I am getting my first Sun Conure and this was something I was wondering about!! She comes home in about a month or so when she is completely weaned! So ecstatic!
My bird is a baby rainbow lorikeet, I need to potty train him, I never had a bird before, his name is Sky, we love him very much. Do I need a high stand with a tray underneath it? What treats can I give a 2 months old Lori ? Thanks
I had no clue they potty that frequently! If Marlene is able to potty train her flock and keep her sanity that should give hope to all bird owners struggling with potty training.
Great information! Just like potty training a child. Common sense, but I had to have someone let me know it's not that different than a child! Thank you for sharing this great information with us!
❤ thank you for the encouragement. Usually my girl won’t poop on me but my boy, he so will!! They are almost 4 month old tiels and starting to really develop unique personalities so it’s time to work on the deuce deuce training.
I have a green cheek conure and he has a huge biting issue with little kids and my family members and he is extremely territorial when someone comes to me or near me he starts going crazy and charges at them what do I need to do
he may be jealous of other people coming near you. treat him for a good behaviour when your freinds are near. first try to let him do any trick he knows with a presence of another person, BUT that person should not be your attention. Let the bird feel like he is still your attention. After he does the trick treat him and let the other person get closer to you little. Then ask the bird to do tricks again and treat him again. after a while ask the bird to initiate something with that person (ANY EASY TASK like taking a toy from that person or so on) this way you train your bird to interact and behave with others. NOTE, you only need the bird to initiate NOT the person as if the bird would not be ready, he might take a nigative reaction. with time passing the bird would learn better.
Jacob Hileman look I have had the same problem to where I wanted to get rid of my bird. My bird loves and go crazy for millet treats. I would take the treat and show him and slowly put it in the cage while holding it but my fingers are out of the way and slowly move my other hand to him or I would put my finger on the opening of the cage and stick the treat in the cage yo where he can reach ot and slowly move the treat to where he will soon have to step on my finger to get to the treat and eventually he calmed down
Your lovely kind lady but why are your birds losing there feathers ?? I have watch some of your Other videos are they stressed because there’s so many different birds or is it there diet Just concerned
I heard some people say potty training is bad bc if you are not there to tell the bird to go potty it will keep it in and can cause infection? Can someone please tell me if this is true or not
Just subscribed about an hr ago, where can I go to learn about birdy sweeties? I'd like to learn about how they came into your life, etc... I thought at 1 point about 3 yrs ago that I might want to adopt a bird, but bcuz I did research and watched UA-cam videos about birds, I quickly learned that it's best if I have a bird via Gotcha, Max and Pebble and now your birds. They're just to darn cute! Hope you have a peaceful day 😎
I just read the same thing about potty training in one of the books I got to get ready for a 25yo B&G rescue that I am adopting. I want to be prepared for her.
Thanks for sharing and really appreciate it. I just brought home a grown African grey and can't even get close to the cage to give its food without it's showing an aggressive behavior and screams to the top of its voice . Even when am passing by, it starts screaming and seriously don't know what to do about it. Really needs some guidance here thanks
i just got a new bird and shes 2 years and 7 months old i odnt know if shes to old to potty train is that a thing?? she wasnt potty traind in her last home.
My bird knows where the toilet is and whenever I head towards it he says “you have to go potty” 😂
That's awesome 😂 I really want a bird of my own. What kind do you have? Was looking at White Cockatoo
Doug Swink if its your first time, i wouldnt get a cockatoo
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Doug Swink yeah I wouldn’t recommend a cockatoo for your first bird, I would recommend a budgie or a cockatiel! I have both and I have an amazing experience with them, if you want any tips you are more than welcome to ask! :)
Lol what if somebody was over and they said that 😂
This video started like a news report just silence
Schnitts I loved that, made me laugh.

I’ve been watching so many of your videos lately, they’re so useful !! I’m planning on getting a cockatiel in the near future, I’m watching so many videos to be prepared and I really love everything you do, keep going !! :D
I am too planning...

This is really great info!

I had a friend who wanted to do this to save money on diapers and it only lasted 2 days before my friend said it was too much cleaning up the poop
Lol that’s how I taught my dog except for actual talking 😂
I swear you're the human equivalent of a cookbook that tells a story thoughout the recipe
People that attack other ppl online are trolls and have many more issues than whatever they’re barking about plz pay them no mind what they say means nothing....thank you for all your hard work and dedication and advocation, I learn a lot from you every video, you’re awesome and your birds are beautiful too!
This is great! I've been doing it with my 10 week old conure, and he's catching on very well. Thank you!!
I have a Green Cheek Conure 10 weeks he is practically potty training himself. Amazing little bird.
Angie Reeves iii
I like your shirt!!!
MrMuscleBilly samezeees CUTE!
YOU CAN'T AFFORD IT.

Not certain about the points made but ,if anyone else is searching for parrot trainer try Pycanta Parrot Tips Protocol (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now ) ? Ive heard some incredible things about it and my colleague got amazing results with it.
Thank you Marlene for the tips. I got to bring Agadore Anna Darling home today!! So excited! Hope to run into you again at the bird store 🦜🙏🏻✨
People make fun if this vital isse...
Shame on them...
Thank you for the information. I wish you were around 18 years ago. I would have learned so much from you about my 18 year old mustache parrot named Mookie. He is bilingual and such a talker. I was shock when you said Picasso doesn't talk. I love love my Mookie. Everytime, I see Picasso, It's like seeing Mookie. Bless your Picasso. He is too cute...
I'm seriously watching this in the very real hope of potty training a chicken (or two). Will keep you posted.
Haha I tried to touch train a chicken not the smartest of ideas
Awe look at you with Picasso. Before Picasso cane into the vidio I really thought this was a new post.
And another WOW, I cannot believe how many years I have followed you and your life with your precious flock family.
But,....like what the Heck do you have some secret Fountain of youth you bath in because you havent aged 1 tiny bit
Maybe it's in your family Gene's.
And I Love Love that tshirt with Rocky on it
You've Come Along Way Baby. And it no secret why. 😘
Omg Picasso! Please come home! This video immediately made me sad!

If the birds can fly, or the cage is close enough, can they take themselves to potty or do you have to carry them every time?
Asking because I want a budgie and these dudes poop every 15 minutes
You have to clean up after budgies. Their poops are smaller so it's not a big deal. Just make sure to clean it up
Very informative
I've been training my Alexandrine Rocky with the word "toilet" and he does it pretty well. He does the poopy dance so I can feel when he needs it.
Why not teach the bird to fly to the cage when it need to potty if it can fly?
Millennial Mogwai they poop while flying
Elina Tsadourian They do?
I wanted to know how to teach them like a cat. To teach them to where to take a shit when they need
But my canary used to return to the cage for potty
Vargas Fanel Thats good
2:43 😂 she needed a sniff break
Right?! So funny! 🥰
Ohhh, Marlene, you are pretty, I love a beautiful brown eyed brunette, and you have the prettiest eyes. 😉
I really want a bird I don't indeed cleaning up after it but I am a little nervous since I live in an apartment an have 1 tween and a toddler that the mess could be too much this helped a lot knowing that I dont have to worry about poop everywhere if I train properly
I enjoy watching your birds' body language when their vent is about to get busy!
Love your videos! you are by far my favourite youtuber!😄
Wow! Thank you so much! That means so much to me!
Why does Marlene not have millions of subs
life of Maverick the sun conure IKR??? She is AMAZING!! And so funny! Love George and Genna too!
Ikr
Great video Marlene! Jersey is looking like a Molukken cockatoo with her red feather, hahaha....

UNBELIEVABLE UNBELIEVABLE ... VERY SMART PARROTS ... VERY INFORMATIVE ... THANKS A MILLION DEAR RESPECTED MADAM //
So helpful!! Thank you for sharing :) Love it when you guys post
Been waiting to hear how to do this! Thanks!
Where did you get those chains and ropes? I need to get some for my GW Macaw. He loves those plastic chains.
The chains and ropes are from Home Depot. When you go in there they will cut them for you however long you want them.
Grate advice I’m getting a bird soon so this is a very good advice
Hey !!!!! great videos . Looks like jersey has grown a lot of feathers comparing to the previous videos . Hope to see him soon with full feathers
I’m not a first time bird owner but anyways I’m getting my baby Hahn’s Macaw in around January and am really preparing extra for her. I’m getting a brand new cage, new toys, brand new diet etc... Your videos pretty much help me organize on what to do when I get her. Thanks!
Nice
Positive reinforcement:) the best training method for humans and animals alike
I've watched so many of your videos and this question has been bugging me 'How do they not crap all over the house!??!' Thanks so much for clearing this up. The issue has prevented me from having any more birds, so maybe I can manage this training too!! namaste

Jersey is so cute :-)
I just posted a video on cockatiels, essentially the video was about pros vs cons and just common things with them. I'm linking this in the description because I don't know much about potty training myself and I knew you were the best person to explain ^^
Aren't you afraid they might swallow or choke on the beads?
I have my Quaker potty trained, she was easy, just took her every 20 mins, sometimes she goes sometimes I have to look for clues, if she starts to go I say don't potty on me and she won't she will wait until I take her, which Is right away, it nice not having to worry about getting pooped on.

enjoyed this thanks. this is pretty much exactly like house training a puppy. I should not really be surprised!
Marlene your tips really help..... I am glad I found u
I miss you Picasso :(
Great video! I am getting my first Sun Conure and this was something I was wondering about!! She comes home in about a month or so when she is completely weaned! So ecstatic!
Good video really great video!
Your clearly devoted to your birds and love them very much! But how do you feel about your cockatoo living in misery? Has this occurred to you?
My bird is a baby rainbow lorikeet, I need to potty train him, I never had a bird before, his name is Sky, we love him very much. Do I need a high stand with a tray underneath it? What treats can I give a 2 months old Lori ? Thanks
those are cute birds, I was wondering if your house would be full of bird droppings everywhere. I didn't know you could train them in that regard.
Not to flex but my son beetle (a red throated conure), picked up on potty training in less than an hour. He’s a champ. It’s actually pretty easy.
Very cute parrot
Thanks for the tips!
Absolutely fantastic n fabulous tips, thanks so much
I love your channel.
I had no clue they potty that frequently! If Marlene is able to potty train her flock and keep her sanity that should give hope to all bird owners struggling with potty training.
You help me so much!!!
Thanks
I love your videos and I am from Slovenia
THANKS
Crazy bird lady!! Yay I have a bird sister!
You do!! Come see our new video
Love this video
Great information! Just like potty training a child. Common sense, but I had to have someone let me know it's not that different than a child! Thank you for sharing this great information with us!
Love it.
very great video, thank you
How do you take care of all these birds? I only have one Albino Indian Ringneck and taking care of it, groooming, feeding etc
❤ thank you for the encouragement. Usually my girl won’t poop on me but my boy, he so will!! They are almost 4 month old tiels and starting to really develop unique personalities so it’s time to work on the deuce deuce training.

I would take the treat and show him and slowly put it in the cage while holding it but my fingers are out of the way and slowly move my other hand to him or I would put my finger on the opening of the cage and stick the treat in the cage yo where he can reach ot and slowly move the treat to where he will soon have to step on my finger to get to the treat and eventually he calmed down
U should really try to socialize ur bird
I had a maroon bellied conure who did the same. he use to fly after visitors to bite them, also he was very nippy.
It's actually a conure trait they are very not a group bird if they are hand reared
Your lovely kind lady but why are your birds losing there feathers ?? I have watch some of your Other videos are they stressed because there’s so many different birds or is it there diet
Just concerned
Does this work with small birds to
This video was REALLY useful!
I heard some people say potty training is bad bc if you are not there to tell the bird to go potty it will keep it in and can cause infection?
Can someone please tell me if this is true or not
Just subscribed about an hr ago, where can I go to learn about birdy sweeties? I'd like to learn about how they came into your life, etc... I thought at 1 point about 3 yrs ago that I might want to adopt a bird, but bcuz I did research and watched UA-cam videos about birds, I quickly learned that it's best if I have a bird via Gotcha, Max and Pebble and now your birds. They're just to darn cute! Hope you have a peaceful day 😎
I just read the same thing about potty training in one of the books I got to get ready for a 25yo B&G rescue that I am adopting. I want to be prepared for her.
Hi, I was just wondering if it is ok to not have a cockatoo in a cage at all? like in a room with a lot of perches and toys.
Thanks for sharing and really appreciate it. I just brought home a grown African grey and can't even get close to the cage to give its food without it's showing an aggressive behavior and screams to the top of its voice . Even when am passing by, it starts screaming and seriously don't know what to do about it. Really needs some guidance here thanks
thank you for sharing this
i just got a new bird and shes 2 years and 7 months old i odnt know if shes to old to potty train is that a thing?? she wasnt potty traind in her last home.
