Newbie here... What is a poop bin?

[Love my Critters!]

What exactly is a poop bin. I keep seeing mentions of them, but I'm not sure what they are.

Thanks!

Think of it as a kitty litter box for your birds. Place a box or tray underneath your roost to catch droppings.

What goes in the pan underneath? Kitty liter, sand, what???? Just asking!

we have one that just has newspaper, one with wood chips, and a couple that are linoleum.

in case your wondering
the wood chip one is easy to scoop out, the linoleum is eascy to scrape off, the newspaper can be a pain to roll up and throw out.

I'm definitely putting on in my coop! It seems like it would be a real time saver!!!

I was given an old linoleum topped table from a camper that I think would be excellent to put under the roost.

I posted pics of my roost pit (poop bin) in this thread.

The most poop comes from night time roosting and the poop is concentrated below the roosts. That's how you know where to put the bin.
