This is so spot on, except my bird is more of a klaxon than a brawk. The mess..... I have a shop vac that stays under her cage, and is used every day, to clean up that was deemed inedible/unacceptable from the previous day. As I also have 4 lovebirds and 8 parakeets(rescues) it gets used A LOT. But Stinker is definitely the worst.
