Understanding your birds droppings

[my-africangrey-echo]

There are three parts to your bird's droppings.

• Urates - white chalky material
• Urine - clear watery
  • The above are two types of urine are sometimes mixed together and make it look like cloudy white urine. Important changes include color changes and amount.

• Feces
  • The third part of the droppings is the feces. The feces is from the colon so would be made up of digested foods. This is the part of the droppings in which the color may changed depending on the food eaten. For example red pellets and cranberries can result in a red colored dropping. Please note that the color changes as a result of food being eaten do not apply to the urine.
  • The feces is somewhat solid and tubular. It might shaped in a coil and could be broken up.
