Cookie has been watching this and deciding he wants in on this praise too. He’s starting to get the concept and though I don’t know if he’ll ever do the wastebasket, he’s been pooping on their play area instead of on us, more than he used to.
The only thing wevdid was be alert to their body language and encourage it. They really are the ones who initiated it! Sassy did this, too, same thing, he taught us more than we taught him.
They’re so smart, and they prefer not to poop where they’re going to be walking or perching, so it’s a natural behavior we just capitalized on. It does take paying attention; if we don’t, we get pooped on, no big deal, we’re bird people.
