Ianto-10yr old M. YN-Amazon,
Toshiko - 10yr old F. YN-Amazon (Mated pair)
So i have these two wonderful amazonz but the female has this weird habit an i was wondering if anyone else had heard of it or has any suggestions on makeing her stop, its annoying! Well, my male like any birdy when nature calls will basically drop it whereever he is not really careing. But my female prefers to use her water dish as a toilet. I was prepared for the 3-5 times a day changing their water because she also likes to dip all her food in the water. (Which is nasty when it has poo in it) But thier changing the water 12-15 times a day after everytime she potties is annoying. Is this something that is common in birds? I have done research on it and found little info on it. I would rather clean her cage everyday like normal and have her poo like her mate onto the bottom of the cage then in her little makeshift toilet. I even tried putting 2 water dishes in their so she can drink from one and use the other as a potty, but she is not picky she will potty in either one. HELP its driving me crazy!
