Has Anyone ‘Housebroken’ Their Parrot?
One of the answers from the big Q.
It has been done but I personally advise against it. It is unnatural for them to hold it, and if they become too well potty trained they may harm themselves if they think they can’t go at any given time.
My answer
Parrots poop about every 15 minutes on average.

How Can I Train My Aggressive African Grey to Sit on My Hand?
Every time I try to get my new Congo grey to sit on my hand, he bites me.
How long do I have to keep getting bitten?
Biting is never acceptable.
Not from a bird, dog, cat nor any other pet (said the lion trainer).
Getting bitten solves nothing.
One of the questions we ask here is why is your bird aggressive?

Do You Think That Birds Are Unhappy in a Bird Cage?
The problem with Quora is that anecdotal answers are opinions, not answers.
Another problem with answering this question is where would we find benchmarks for bird happiness?
I know when my ringneck is happy eating because he talks to his food.

But communicating his happiness or displeasure about any of his birdcages (he has 4), is something still opaque to me.
