Color of their discharge?

Post by Kristy » Thu Jan 12, 2012 8:31 pm

one of my birds is using the bathroom with a weird color. it looks like the same color as some of their food bits. and it looks runny i guess, the paper towel looks like its soaking up water around it. is this normal?

Perfectly fine, often their droppings with change color based on what they eat. The water is the urine that is passed with the solid waste.
