Pee? Or..not..?

I don't know if birds have 'diarrhea' per say..maybe he is just peeing? In the last 10 minutes he has had three very, very wet 'dumps'..is this a sign of maybe illness? Or is this just him peeing?

Bird pee is clear like water, urates are white or slightly yellow, and their stools vary in colour from green to brown (depending on their food). It's diarrhea if there is no "solid" part to their poop. True diarrhea is runny poop (poop coloured, but in liquid form) and can be caused by any number of ailments - and should be treated by a vet (preferably avian) asap.

 

Is your bird eating a lot of fruit? That can cause their poops to be very soft.

Ahh, ok, yes it is clear. I just had not heard of bird's peeing. I didn't know it existed

 

Thanks folks! Thanks Lovemy for the link!

Zahzu will sometimes make a poop with just a tiny bit of the green and white stuff and lots of water if she's just drunk a lot of water and she's really excited. I don't think it's something to worry about if it is just a 'once off' occurrence.

What sort of mischief was your boy up to when he pooped like this?

Nothing that I had noticed, I read on the link that Lovemy posted that stress could cause excessive urination..
