Harry,

Studies have shown that normally functioning cockatiels poop about every 15 minutes. We have heard of some owners teaching their pets to go on command, however, we aren't very big on that. We're afraid you'll have to accept the pooping, keep the bird in it's cage, or check into the potty training.

There will be clean up work to be done regardless of the pet you have. That's one of the responsibilities we undertake when purchasing pets.
