Smelly droppings

[Tziporiah]

Hello, my Sennie and tag have been experiencing smelly droppings for the last 6 months. . I have had Petey 20 years and have not had this issue before
I took the Senegal to the veterinarian and they did a fecal and a colonial test. She said the fecal test was normal and told me to monitor her if any respiratory system should arise and sent us home
The smelly droppings are still happening for both birds

Are either of your birds currently on antibiotics? If they're not, you could try using apple cider vinegar in their water. It has to be a brand that contains the "mother culture", like Braggs for example which is the one I use. Below is the dosage chart based on species/weight etc ...

I hope this helps!

No she did not put them on antibiotics she just said to keep an eye on them

The ACV won't give them a yeast issue will it

I wouldn't think so. I've used it on one of my cockatiels when he had a bout of polyuria for which my vet could find no cause, and it cleared it right up. And I use it on all of them every few months or so to maintain good gut flora levels

Why is the ratio of water to ACV more concentrated in the medium size birds

Smelly parrot poop just doesn't seem right. It must be from some bacteria in their gut. I hear good things about ACV but know very little about it.

I'm not sure tbh. You could just average it out though, I use 5ml per 500ml of water with mine and give it to them for 3 days and it works very well
