Watery poops??

[failurebydesign]

Are watery poops normal? Like really watery!
He's got the regular brown/white stuff but then loads of water too.
(or whatever colored food he eats that day)

I feed him all fresh food, no pellets, well I give a seed mix which I put a few pellets in but he probably eats 5 pellets a day max.

He eats mostly veggies/legumes/fruit and a little seed.
Like corn, rice, broccoli, kale, carrots, sweet potato, beans, mango, grapes, pomegranate, banana
thats what I can think of right now.


At least I know he's not dehydrated, cause Ive never seen him drink!

Bird Poop Analysis



Cookie questions (:

Reddish droppings?

bubbles in poop

So long as the colored parts and the white parts are rather solidly formed, your bird does not have diarrhea. Extra water could be from eating all the fruit (especially the grapes). :D

You could reduce the amount of fruit for a day, and see if the poop consistency changes. If it continues to be watery minus fruit, get a second opinion. ><

Okay I think it is from diet,
maybe I should check first thing in the morning when he hasn't eaten yet.

Thanks for the links

If birds over drink or eat lots of watery food, their poos are gonna be watery...
Just depends on what they eat.

Dont worry, this is just like my ekkie hen, she had watery poops too, too much watery conent in her veg/fruit mix

Is it bad for them to have too much watery foods?

The bottom of my cage is COVERED in poop, i have to start changing her paper EVERY DAY instead of every second day because she eats so much. a lot of it is watery, but i am by no means qualified to say if that is healthy or not...
