Strangely, the bird ignores the massive unsupervised expanse of the of the bay. Insisting to land instead on a tiny dingy, and asking fisherman Ziggy if they have permission to excrete their business on a small section of said dingy that will have to be cleaned up by our friend at a future time.
The poop deck is the aftermost and highest deck of a ship, especially in a sailing ship where it typically forms the roof of a cabin in the stern. The name originates from the French word for stern, “la poupe,” which comes from Latin “puppis.” Technically, the poop deck is a stern deck, often elevated as the roof of the stern or “after” cabin, also known as the “poop cabin” or simply the poop2. Sailors would often stand on the poop deck to observe the surroundings or perform navigational duties. Ziggy doesn’t have a poop deck.
The name originates from the French word for stern, la poupe, from Latin puppis. Thus the poop deck is technically a stern deck. In sailing ships, the toilet was placed in the bow or head somewhat above the water line with vents or slots cut near the floor level allowing normal wave action to wash out the facility. Called the Head.

I think on a certain level we all think of a “Poop Deck” as being bathroom related.
