Poop misiles?

[Alienation]

Recently I posted about the wild rainbow lorikeet my boyfriend acquired and how well he is settling in. He's a very affectionate bird - always preening everyone and wanting to come out and play. However, it seems that he is deliberately pooing on us! Has anyone ever heard of this? Could it really be deliberate? It has happened three times now in two days.
1) I was sitting on the floor, he was on the coffee table facing me. He turned around, backed up and pooed on me.
2) He was sitting on my boyfriend's finger, climbed up onto his shoulder and pooed on him.
3) He was sitting on my finger, climbed up onto my shoulder and pooed on me.

Is this just a huge coincidence, or could he be doing it deliberately? Are we just insane in thinking it's on purpose? Usually we're good at knowing when he's going to poo and we just hold him over newspaper or tissue paper, and of course praise him when he hits the newspaper, but sometimes we're just not quick enough...

Fred backs up and tries to get poop away from where he's standing. It works well for me, as that way it usually gets on the floor. I think your little one is just trying get it away from him....

He's just being a parrot...Keep working with him and try to get him to poop on/in an approved location. He'll get the hang of it.

Thanks guys =P
It's not that we mind the poop at all - we know it comes with bird ownership, but we were just curious as to if he was deliberately pooping on us!
We'll keep working on training him for sure and hopefully avoid more accidents!
