Severe Macaw and 2 Timneth Greys I live in Upstate New York, USA My name is Gail	The saying "You are what you eat" is so true....ESPECIALLY with birds!! I nearly rushed one of my Greys to the vet once due to red droppings. Turned out to be the red pellets in his food! None of my birds poo look alike. They are all unique! giggle

Budgeries four off I live in a mess of my own making !!! My name is I'll give you a clue	Their poo is a very good indicator of illness as long as you know what is normal for them, with budgies they have two types the black and then a white bit attached to it. The black part is their poo and the white bit is their version of urine. But as I have noticed with budgies, one birds poo is another birds food :lol: Sky my hen will clean the cage in the mornings where they have pooed on the perches she will clean it off........... eek With Parrotlets they all have different poos even if they are eating the same thing, so try not to worry too much as long as you feed him a good mixed diet, seed, vegs and fruits in that order he will be fine

It is scary but once you learn what's normal for Zooky, you'll feel better. Also there are other indicators of health -- whether they are fluffed up and sleeping a lot. How vocal they are, etc, so don't worry too much about the poo unless it changes a lot. Sky!! You're so gross, but you're helping your dad clean the cages! :lol: :lol:

Spike is really loud for a Parrotlet too, so I know how you feel! :) Sick birds are quiet. It's instinct for them since in the wild any noise would call attention to them and put them in danger.
