My conure has a perch on the top of his cage that he
sits on when outside. When nobody is playing with him,
he just stays on his cage perch & poops onto the newspaper
I place below; he never tries to explore the room.

When an obliging human calls him over to play, he's on
a 15-20min poop schedule; he get's flung into the air
to fly back to his cage perch, he's told to "take a poop",
and then allowed to fly back to shoulder or knee.
