First of all; what species? If it's a lorikeet.. good luck!!!
Whenever you see the signs that she is about to poop (fluffing up rear end feathers, shaking tail, backing up, squatting etc) say "go potty" and if she poops give her a treat and lots of praise. Soon she will realize "go potty" means she should go to the toilet. Now start training her to go to the place you want her to go (eg. piece of paper, a bin, her cage etc) Give her a chance every 10 minutes to go- put her in the desired place, say "go potty" and if she goes, treat and praise.
Don't teach her to only go when asked though, as some birds hold on until you tell them to go, and this can cause serious problems. She should want to go in the desired place because she gets treats and attention every time she goes there. My lorikeet knows what it means and can go when I ask, but goes everywhere anyway... it's not a really hard thing to train- you just have to be very motivated and persistent... and spend a lot of time with your bird.
