Toilet training

[Qib]

is it possible to toilet train a budgie?

I'm sure you can potty train a budgie (in the sense they are capable of learning the concept), but I think it would be much more difficult than the larger parrots. The reason being budgies go so much more often. You're going to have to be running your budgie to somewhere he can go every 2 seconds. A flight suit diaper may be a better option for a smaller bird Something like this-

It might be possible, but not to the extent of larger parrots.

However, the good thing about budgies is that their poo is so darn tiny and dry. I would just flick them into the bin or pick them up with a piece of paper towel. Ugh, I miss my budgie so much, she was a character alright.

Budgie's do go more often, but you can save yourself the toiletry run April was describing by getting a training stand. That's what I do with my eclectus. He's larger, yes, but same concept applies. If we're sitting watching tv, I don't want to get up with him every 12 - 45 minutes (Bixby is ridiculously random!) for a bathroom run. So, when he needs to go, he just flies over to the training stand, does his thing, and then flies back to me. (Mostly. Lol!)

And if your budgie is clipped, no worries. Just keep the training stand right next to you. Once he's trained, you'll recognize the signs and place him on the perch. No biggie.
