Gouldian Poop

I wonder what Goulds have in their poop that other birds don't :?: They are the only birds that stain the white plastic canvas yellow. No stains whatsoever with all other species.

That is strange, I haven't noticed any staining with my goulds on anything.

No they all get the same foods daily. As you all know I started using the plastic canvas on the grate of my cages. When cleaning the canvas all except the ones that are in the gould cages clean up looking like new. The ones that come out of the cages with the goulds are stained yellow and have to be bleached to get them white again. The other ones the stains wash off without having to bleach them. So I was just curious about this observation.
