Two of my four fids are potty trained. The other two we are still working on. Every time you see them drop to poop.. say "poopy" or "whoops" (my re-homed miligold likes "whoops") and reward them a praise "good bird" Also when you let them come out of their cage before you pick them up start telling them "poopy" or whatever word you prefer. When they do it... give them a treat and pick them up and tell them what a good bird they are. Marvin (my severe) knows that when she climbs out of her cage that she has to "poopy" before I pick her up. She will climb to the top of her cage door "poopy" and them immediately tell me to "step up." Shes a pro... in the back ground my Hahns "Dewey" says "good bird" when this happens. He is the one who offers Marvin immediate praise... this is helping him to learn the potty training business as he is starting to "poopy" as soon as hes let out. Then he yells "step up." Go figure.
