After the birds got their eggs cozy into their nest, one of them has developed some ucky looking poop. NOt diarrhea, but it is quite soft and LARGE!! Is this normal after laying some eggs??

:lol: Pregnant poop! Yes, it's normal. When they're sitting on eggs they don't go as often and so retain a lot more poop. Then when they do poop, they POOP!

Yes, that "massive" poop freaked me out at first too, until I read that it was OK. Guess it's just building up in there since they're so busy taking care of those eggs. :oops:
