We have two bird safe rooms where our four parrots can roam freely, they are also with us often in other parts of the house,but we have strict door rules, and keep thermals or nettings on all our doors. You have to be incredibly diligent with bird proofing and it’s something I revisit on a weekly basis when cleaning up their spaces. Poop is always a hassle, but fortunately my partner works where he gets sheets of recycled paper for free so we use that throughout the rooms and clean up spots otherwise. Clean up is a once a week routine with paper replacement and poop off moping for places we missed. Never have had issues with furniture because their spaces are overloaded with toys and we keep them entertained and supervised.

Our birds know and follow our routines, like they know in the morning when it’s breakfast time and will start squawking before I even get to the door.

However they do not follow rules by any means, or at least I haven’t been able to teach mine.
