Cockatiel training, the first thing you thought of was teaching him to whistle, or talk wasn’t it? Don’t get me wrong that is all fun stuff too, but how about something different, something much funnier and something to your advantage. Teaching him to poop on cue yes it does work.
This is how it happened,I thought how neat it would be to teach your parrot to poop on cue, why? So you have little, or no mess at all to clean up, so I went on a long search, a very long search on internet and found heaps of neat tricks.
Today I wanted to share a step by step guide that I found and used myself to teach your parrot to poop on cue. All you have to do is follow what my directions you and put it into practice on your bird.
So let’s get started, before we do just be aware that cockatiels, in-fact all parrots are extremely smart,they actually have the intelligence of a 2 year child, so teaching them new things is easier then you think.
What I did initially is this, you can start off by using this if you like as well, or just go ahead and follow the steps below only.
Cockatiels poop as soon as they wake up and might I add very big poops, in-fact they store it up over night and drop it all in 1 big hit. So every time I let my Boofy “that’s my parrot name” out of his cage I found my self cleaning up a dreadful mess, so I started saying to him ” do a poop and I will let you out”.
Boofy would hang on the door of his cage waiting and I wouldn’t let him out till he did 1, when he did I praised him really loudly and opened the door immediately, this took about 5 days and it become natural to him, problem solved.
I advanced from there and used a prop to get him to poop on, what did I use? Well believe it or not Boof has a blue cushion/pillow he “LOVES”, this pillow is his safety blanket every time he gave me the signal he was about to poop I would call him to his pillow and he would then poops, it worked every time.
After a period of time he started flying to his pillow by his self to relieve him self, the war was won. The only problem with this is I had to take the pillow everywhere if we visited someone, so that is when we started learning what I am about to give you below.
Cockatiel Training Step 1 – Teaching Your Cockatiel To Poop On Cue – Chose a word, or word and prop. As stated above use that technique to start off with, or just follow these directives.

Cockatiel Training Step 2 – Teaching Your Cockatiel To Poop On Cue - Observe your cockatiel motions to see how often he goes, mine is about ever 10 minutes he eats a lot, he is a big guts.
