I am babysitting a Macaw. I feed him more fruit and veggies than his owner. He also likes some of whatever I am eating. Anyway over time his poops seem to have gotten a whole lot more stinky. If I make eat more pellets like his owner will it go back to the way it was?
thanks
Lee

I wonder if you may just need to vet the bird????? I have never had that problem.

Sounds like he may have a yeast infection or otherwise... his poops should not smell, thus a good vet check would be advised.

Definitely check with vet. Friend of mine had similar difficulties, ant it turned out ti be an intestinal virus.
