I have an 18 year old Quaker named Jayde, I have had him since he was 3 months old and he definitely has Attitude.lol He cracks me up at times...when my dog goes outside he whistles for her and calls her by name, he says Come On Chloe, then says good boy.lol Yes its a female dog. He will bite you then say OUCH and he starts laughing. If someone knocks on my door hr says Come In. He says Goodnight when I cover him up at night, when I uncover him in the morning he says Good Morning . He has a pretty good vocabulary but He is very DIRTY...He poops and pees outside of his cage all over the place, it is practically impossible to keep his cage clean and it smells Awful. ANY SUGGESTIONS??? His cage is very large, the last cage was a bit smaller and I thought that was the problem but obviously it didn't make a difference.Any ideas on how to keep the terrible smell down would be greatly appreciated

I'm thinking that maybe a vet visit is in order, just to make sure his organs are functioning okay. Has his poop always smelled? How often do you clean his cage? What is the consistency of the poop (dry, extra watery, etc.) and what color is it? If it's yellowish and watery that can indicate a problem with his liver. I just read your post in the cage cleaning thread....if his poop is watery, please get him to a vet. Bird poop really shouldn't have very much "liquid matter". It is generally moist, but not wet.

I came up with an idea for the bottom of the cage today, after 18 years of having my Quaker. I am a Nurse and you can buy disposable bed pads for the bottom as it absorbs the liquod matter and can be taken out and thrown away as needed. AS LONG AS YOU HAVE A BOTTOM WITH CAGE BARS ABOVE THE TRAY. Tell me what you think Please???

Not sure what to tell you about the rest...I've only had my girl a day but have owned other birds and they didn't have too bad of a smell. Does he eat a LOT of fruits and veggies? That might be the difference.
