Hi everyone! I joined this forum because from looking at some other posts, people here are just more friendly and helpful than in other forums!
I have my new baby girl Meyers parrot Gilly for about a month already. She just turned four months. She is doing very well and has gotten very attached to me. She is flighted so training is slower but she recalls and steps up and we are starting to clicker/Target train.
She eats beautifully, and takes basically anything I offer.
One thing that bothers me is her poop. She had a full gram stain and culture done last month, so that makes me feel better about it, but still, it seems weird.
One problem is it looks like she holds it until she sees me. When I take her out in the morning, she does a wicked big poop, sometimes with a big squish sound. It is sometimes very wet and watery. Other times I see she has pooped in her food bowl during breakfast and it is just a pile of yellowy-brown stuff, no defined urates or anything.
But this usually just happens in the morning and when I come home, and then when we are playing and she poops they are good and solid and have defined urates and poops, and it is a good dark green color.
Do you guys think this is normal? Why does she seem to hold the poop for when she sees me?
Thanks a lot!
