Your birds poop

[lovemyGreys]

As our birds poop is linked to their diet i have posted this here in the bird food room.

 

Here is a good link for you guys to read,which gives you some information regarding your birds poo.

If you become familiar with what is normal for your bird hopefully you will be able to recognize any significant changes. You will have small changes in their droppings when you feed a different type of food, for example if they have eaten berries,the colour will be slightly darker/brownish etc..Small changes like this are fine.

Tracy, you're on the money AGAIN. Good reading and a new look for me to see. Not too good of a subjuct, but one that need to know for bird owners.

 

Thanks, Tracy

Thanks Joe, a sticky subject but if you have a rough idea about your birds droppings then hopefully any dramatic change you notice may well be a sign of illness & not necessary down to diet.

Thanks Tracy, yes not the most popular subject, but one we need to be concerned about for they will tell us lots about how well our grey is doing.

Changes in poop was one of the things that clued me into taking Beckette to the vet when she became egg-bound. It saved her life and I for one am very happy to be the poop inspector in my house. or you could call me the poop police. or crazy. or the owner of a TAG. Take your pick.

You are so right, Barbara, and it is not any worse than the things we have to do sometimes to protect our own health, like giving a urine sample to run tests on. The poop shows us a lot about how well our grey is and it pays to be alert to any changes.

 

I'm sorry to hear you had a case of egg binding but glad you found out about it and saved her life.
