Is this normal for nesting birds?

I have a canary that is nesting. I noticed yesterday that she has diarrhea. I was wondering if this was normal for a nesting hen since she holds it for so long, or is it something else? Should I be concerned?

I would ask your vet. I know tiel hens will hold it for 12 hours and have a large poo after, but my finches don't.

if they have been sitting on the eggs/nest way too long my finches do the large poo thing but as for diarreah i think there might be a problem.
