Im gonna sound crazy... Quail diapers?

[Livvy0987]

Well, I have a button quail. He is quite the pooper. I really want to be able to let him sit with me while I do school work. He LOVES cuddles, I just don't want tiny turds everywhere. I discovered https//www.flightquarters.com/bird-diaper Is that crazy? I tried to sew my own. I can never get it right. Maybe I'm just a sucker for animals. What size would an adult male button quail be?

No, putting a diaper on a quail should be against the rules.

You could probably find ones for parakeets, But I agree, Its probably not the best idea to put a diaper on a bird lol. Maybe put paper towel or potty pad down where he likes to cuddle on you? lol

Just get chicken diapers and tinker with them until you make fit.

I think they would be a little too small for him. He is a button quail. Here is a picture I found on the internet, It will show you their size

Yes I can! Maybe an old thin sock? I had a peep pouch when he was younger when I had to transport him. I tried sewing a diaper thing once but it was too big. He didn't seem bothered. It obviously wouldn't stay on longer than 30-40 minutes. Thank you for the idea!

This is a great idea! And remember, always take ideas and advice you don't like with a grain of salt, there are lots of members here and everyone will have different opinions so don't worry if people disagree. I love the diaper idea! If I could have have house poultry I would be so happy! I am so sorry about your cat! Our cats don't make it very often here to, your quail seem so sweet! Sock is a great idea! You could even use fabric squares from a fabric store or even amazon to sew something! A late welcome to BYC, happy to have you here! ☺

Post a pic of it

That is not a great pic, I had to take that picture on my computer. You can see the reflection of the computer . That's his indoor cage! It's a bit too cold for outside right now.

No.
You are probably freaking him out by taking him out of his cage each time.
I would suggest getting a cat to hang out with.

just because your birds may not be friendly doesn’t mean everyone’s aren’t, hers may love cuddles and be completely okay with a diaper

Purchase a small size chicken diaper and tinker. Follow the pattern from that one but make it smaller.

Okay thank you! Is there any way I can let him hangout without getting poop EVERYWHERE?

thank you! Also thank you for @ me! I felt terrible about suggesting diapers! Its good to know you think its a good idea! He is a little sweetheart! I didn't expect him to be like that!

Ya, others (like Kiki) will lave separate opinions, but since he is your bird, you will know best what he can handle and what he can't. I get that you just want him to be able to spend time with you without a huge mess. There is no harm in trying, if it works it works, if he doesn't lie it, he doesn't like it. It will take some getting used to, but I am sure he will be fine! ☺
