I'd like to pose a question to all the pet bird people in birdland.
I often hear of how people who own big birds such as Macaws, Cockatoos,
Amazons, etc. let their birds run around the house on the floor as they
follow them from room to room.  I'd love to let my amazon do this, but
I am afraid I
'd be stepping in their droppings all the time.  Do you folks
have this problem?  Is your bird paper trained or something, or do you
just not care if the bird messes the floor?  Or do you follow them around
the house with a paper towel in hand
