You must protect yourself from the beak and the flailing feet by very carefully, lightly so as not to suffocate your bird, wrap it in a small towel, having available a warm wet washcloth or warm water and a q tip. Gently rub the area and it should release the droppings. I have had to do this several times with my bird. Since he wasn't raised with a lot of handling, he panics and flails and bites at the towel. I've tried to spray warm water on the feathers first with a fine mist sprayer and it makes the removal easier. Other than that, you might visit your local aviary or call a vet who is bird friendly.
To painlessly remove droppings stuck on a bird's feathers under the tail, you can gently mist the area with lukewarm water to soften the dropping. Then, use a soft cloth or paper towel to gently wipe away the dropping. Be cautious not to pull on the feathers or cause any distress to the bird during the process.
