Look at the three parts separately
Droppings usually contain formed feces, white or cream urates, and clear urine. Extra urine after fruit or drinking is not automatically diarrhea.
Pair photos with food records
Photograph several droppings on a clean pale surface and add the time, new foods, intake, weight, and activity.
- Photo time
- New food in the last day
- Food and water intake
- Weight and activity
Separate a single event from a pattern
Record whether the change resolves or repeats. Do not delay care just to collect more examples when the bird looks unwell.
Blood, black droppings, or weakness need a call
Contact an avian clinic promptly for blood, black-looking droppings, repeated straining, marked weakness, vomiting, or breathing changes.
