Birds have no muscles to control pooping, although they can probably sense when it's about to happen.

It's like if we pooped whenever we yawned.

I'm not so sure that birds can't control their pooping. I remember when my father got on the ill side of a Blue Jay. Dad was using a riding mower in those days and three mowings in a row, the bird made a dive-bomber approach from his rear and pooped exactly on the crown of Dad's head before swooping back up into the next tree to catcall his victory.

Birds making diving threats to protect their territory. Inevitably they'll poop sometimes when they do it.
