Journeyman Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 Hi again, It's Journeyman, long time no talk, I've been busy. Here's an interesting question... every once in a while Cosmo, my CAG, will sit on the bottom of his cage and eat his poop! :sick: I feed him well and his cage is cleaned regularly. It doesn't seem to effect him and he doesn't do this often, is this an instinctual thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tycos_mom Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 Some people say its because they're missing something in their diet. I don't really know for sure mabie you could call your vet and see what she/he says I don't think it will hurt him but its rather gross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave007 Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 Unless there's obvious sickness, periodically a grey and other species will eat fecal matter because small perrticles of food go right through their digestive systems and mix in with the droppings and many times a birds eats through it to get to those particles. Could be seeds, pellets, nuts. Anything that can stay firm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Journeyman Posted April 27, 2009 Author Share Posted April 27, 2009 Dave007, This is what I imagined it to be because he does it so rarely, and there's no sign of illness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
