Poop, there is something weird with the poop.
My birds poop has been quite unusual for a couple days now, it has been a light shade of gray and is big round moist ball of poo. I am scared of the possibility of Chlamydiosis and other diseases, please help me. And for some reason they are now courting each other.

Re: Poop, there is something weird with the poop.
I've forgotten what species you have. Are they building a nest, or are they spending a lot of time in a nest? When birds start laying eggs, incubating, etc., they will hold poop for a long time while in the nest, so when they come out for a break, they poop a really large ball of poop. Could it be possible they now have eggs?

Re: Poop, there is something weird with the poop.
Can you get a close up picture of the droppings on a white paper or paper towel. A visual will help.... is this a one time dropping or everytime?

Re: Poop, there is something weird with the poop.
Their poos are normal now, yet there are no eggs. Courting is only happening once in a while (Minimum is once a week). The only stay in the nest for a certain time, they spend half a second to 15 minutes in their nest. I have gouldians. I believe they have mated once, since both of them were in the nest for 2 hours straight. There are no eggs though...
