Poop board for the Win!!
Should have done this from the start! Definitely keeps the bedding much cleaner. I had originally installed a slanted board to discourage them from scratching in the droppings, but good ol' Gravity had the last laugh on that one.... Poop board fail. And the birds didn't much like the roost over it either. I've since fixed it to a flat board about 14"wide, about 4" below the roost. Someone on this thread mentioned that they use a tarp on their board and just remove it when it needs a thorough clean which I thought was a good idea.
