HandiWipes are amazing. They are reusable after rinsing and dry quickly. I even run mine through the laundry and they last much longer than the package says.Honestly, I wouldn't bother with a diaper. Managing the bird poop really isn't as bad as you might think it will be. Conures are very social and don't usually just fly around the house everywhere - they generally want to be wherever you are. Here is what I do: I have a bunch of cloth napkins I keep around areas we hang out. Simply wipe up the poops. And have some Poop Off handy for messes that stain. With just one Conure I promise it really isn't worth training to wear a diaper. Getting your bird to accept wearing one will take a lot of time and work.
Ewww! What self respecting parrot would want to wear a diaper and carry his poops around with him forTHink getting poops off a shirt is hard? Try getting it off , when its all smooshed into the feathers when the diaper gets full. plus it takes a lot of training and work with your parrot to get his accept the darn thing and not spend every second trying to bite it off. You dont just pop a parrot into a flight suit or flight harness, like you would put a multi=point harness on a dog, it takes a long time ususaly.

I have 2 green cheeked conures and allow both to fly around the living room.I am adopting a flighted green cheeked conure that I plan to allowindoor flight. Wondering how I'd go about training him towear a flight suit to minimise the amount of poop around thehouse? Any ideas
CORRECTION .....I have 2 green cheeked conures and allow both to fly around the living room.
I attached what I understand everyone calls brings to the dropped ceiling grid and placed throw rugs under to make clean up easier (washing machine) but as someone already stated ...both my birds favorite perch outside of their cage is my shoulder View attachment 54179
No offence, but I think you are getting ahead of yourself. You're adopting a bird... why, what was wrong with their first home? Did they bond with the first owner(s)? Is the bird a handful? I would focus on getting the bird to like you and your home first, which could take a while. A long while depending on the answers to my questions.I am adopting a flighted green cheeked conure that I plan to allowindoor flight.
