Hi,

My new Red Bellied Parrot, Yoshi, has being doing great, but has one issue. He keeps pooping in his pellet dish. He doesn't poop in his water dish or fresh food dish, only the pellet dish.

I have tried moving the perch near the dish lower, but it seems that he perches on the food bowl to poop in it.

This morning, I moved the pellet dish to the holder where the fresh food dish normally is and left the dish holder where the pellet dish normally sits empty. (I'll give him fresh food tonight). I am hoping that if the dish isn't there he will learn to poop elsewhere.

Do you think this will work? Any other suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Well, he didn't poop in his pellet dish in the new location. This morning I left it in the new spot and put his fresh food dish where the pellet bowl used to be. We'll see what happens.
