Poop question?

[DRB]

Is it common or normal for a parrot to poop when stressed or scared?

Perjo has been getting daring and has been flying about the house a little bit and she doesn't land gracefully and usually bumps into something, she poops every time near the spot she crash lands.

Yes I think I can remember Plum doing the same.

Please be careful with her flying if she isnt that strong yet as she can do herself a serious injury on these crash landings. Perhaps better to curtail until she is stronger and concentrate on building her strength up with short trips for now.

All of these flights are unscheduled and without clearance from me, so I do need to do a better job of keeping her closer. The pattern I'm noticing is when she is perched above most other items in the room, like on top of her cage, she tends to get daring and test her wings. No bad landings but she most certainly bumps into stuff as she's losing altitude.

Please do be careful to avoid an injury and of course expensive vet treatment.
