Holy crap. When you thought pet products couldn't get more ridiculous, along comes the diaper for pet birds. The reusable FlightSuits are intended for indoor and outdoor use, and have patented "poop pouches."
Can you handle it?
"FlightSuits are cleverly disguised, soft, stretchy, reusable pet bird diapers," FlightQuarters explained. "They allow your feathered friends out of their cages both in and out of the house; worry-free from embarrassing accidents (poop). When used with an Avian Fashions' Leash, they prevent dangerous fly-aways. FlightSuits are easy to put on and take off of your bird. They are great for travel. The fabric is breathable and easy to clean. You can use them over and over for years."
I had birds as a kid, and I can recall the sensation of their hot pre-poop feet too well. The usually cold and scaly toes go hot mere seconds before they release their droppings. My reaction was always to fling the bird off my finger as fast as I could. Poor birds. Had my little guys worn FlightSuits, they could have received the love they deserved.
