We are most fortunate that their distant antecedents, the duck and goose, only void their waste while in the water or on the ground, respectively. It is still messy, but at least it doesn’t slap you on the head.Not that there aren’t people who would not benefit from a good slap on the head. I am certain that there are.I don’t know if the pterodactyl had a combined waste duct like modern birds, or separate means of voiding solids and liquids as do mammals. Fish, bird and reptiles all have a unified waste system, though, so I have to guess that they did. In that case, they wouldn’t actually do that at all. But I’m sure that they would like to.
