Yep my dog's ears perk up immediately with any poop release sound.
Our house Banty, Taco Belle, had been with us indoors since we found her 6+years ago this past January. She is totally house trained when you are holding, snuggling her, bedtime. Her manners are excellent in that regard, but if left to run around she will occassionally leave something little behind, though with the dog it's pretty much cleaned up right away. She'll nromally "let you know" she's gotta go and happily gets tossed out the door, poops in under 30 seconds then runs back up the stairs and back inside.
She loves to just snuggle all day long and sometimes I keep her inside the warm vest I wear. She even goes shopping with me all tucked away sometimes. She goes on most of our family vacations and travels better than any one else in the car. Sometimes she is a Pets on Wheels Chicken.
She of course knows her name and comes when called, unless she's dusting in her favorite house plant, then she just ignores everyone.
We finally decided to get some working girls this summer and came home with 4 ee chicks (1 ended up a roo/re-homed and have since added 2 more). Taco was not amused with theses "animals" but after several weeks of slow integration she decided they weren't so bad afterall . . . though in no way was she going to stay outside all day w/ them!
All the chicken bonding stopped when cold weather hit, as she's old now and not really a cold weather bird, so maybe in the Spring she'll be able to free range with the big girls while I'm back gardening outside.
I have a Trio of Seramas in the house. Been in here since last august. I have them in a rabbit cage in the entryway. They are Tony Orlando and Dawn. Spoiled rotten. Tony crows every morning at about 4 am. One of the girls has been laying for about 3 months. Most of my friends would say i'm nuts and i'm ok with that. 
at this very moment sharing my shrimp fried rice w/me and now proceeding to clean her beak on the keyboard.
