Cockatiel Question

[chrissycat21]

I was wondering if any of you bird owners have any suggestions for not having your birds go to the bathroom all over you. Its getting to be a pain because I would love to take Buttons out of his cage more, but if I'm wearing something 'nice' he might end up ruining it. A lot of the time I'll throw on an old t-shirt or put him on the top of his cage with some millet spray. I'd love to have him out more, so what do you do to keep your bird from 'going' all over you?

Silly question, I know, but my mom told me to ask.

If I can I'll find this site that has info on how to potty train your bird.

I place Bailey over an old newspaper every time I see him moving his butt down...You know how they poop. They place their vent area really close to the ground so it's like an angle, and then poop. When I see him do that, I'll place him on a newspaper and it usually works. If not, I'll just let the poop dry and wipe it off. No biggie.
