Poo Question

[brittani299]

So my bfa wouldn't drink water for whatever reason but I feed him lots of fruits. The last couple days his poo has been solid whole pieces but his urates have been super watery. I looked it up and came across a parrot breeder forum that said that watery is ok as long as the poo is solid. I just want to make sure that is everyone else thinks.

I think you are fine. If you would like to post up pictures, I am sure people will be better able to give you an answer. Fruit has lots of water which will make the stool watery as well.

Watery sometimes is Ok if the poo is solid. This should not all the time though.

Watch the poop. That is what everyone says. They are correct. It is a good sign of the birds health. Normally it will be green solid and white around that. It will change however as the diet changes. Just watch and make sure you don't see red, yellow or brown in a thick consistency. When in doubt, you can bring a sample to the bird store and they can normally tell you what it is.

I found this on another bird site. It might give you some ideas into the different colors of poop.
