Rocky rarely goes on me, but it does happen. As a baby I noticed that he held it all night and wouldnt go for 8+ hours. I found this out when I took him out of the cage one morning and he went on me. I was shocked at the amount from such a little bird and I thought maybe something was wrong with him. I figured it out, though. What I would do then, is hold him over the toilet or trash and say POTTY first thing in the AM and it would all plop out. They are so smart - it wasnt but a day or so before he figured it out. It got so he was hardly if ever going on me, but of course, like Busguy, I got lazy. Still, he does his best not to go on me. I always give an exasperrated sigh and "oh rocky" when he does. I know he picks up on the fact that he made a mistake. For the most part, i think you have to live with it. I have heard of people even making little potties out of ashtrays with a perch and training their bird to go on that. I just didnt have the patience to do it. My caique will hold for hours, on the other hand. Neither bird will go in their night cage (NEVER have) or in the bed. I think they think they are nests.
