>>>> The cue for my dogs is the same as yours:"Go Poopy"...for my birds it's "Bombs Away" or "Fire in the hole"...I think you can indeed train older birds...I can't remember how old Hoover is, but Charlie learned at 35 years old...she didn't have any potty training at all before that.
Hoover was not young when we had our little breakthrough with him - he was a wild-caught bird who lived with another family until we got him. I think he was 10-12-ish when we got him. Any doubts I have would be related to the particulars of any given bird, not particularly age related. Mainly, I didn't want to give the impression that ALL birds can be potty trained. Maybe they can, but I don't want to mislead people about the mess. Parrots are wonderful - but they do come with some side "benefits" people should be aware of!
