Blinkie's doing yellow poos. I noticed some in the cage yesterday but when i separated Blink and Oz to see who was doing them both were doing normal poops so i didn't think much of it. Then this morning when i went to get them out i noticed lots of yellow droppings and i got them out one at a time to weigh them and Blinkie did a yellow poo on the paper towel, so it's him. He hasn't lost weight (37g) and he's behaving normally. It's just his poops. I wouldn't even be taking the time to post this but the vets are closed on Sundays so until tomorrow there's not much i can do. I should've taken them yesterday. I feel so bad. If there's something wrong with my baby i don't know what i'll do. I will try to get an appointment for tomorrow. One thing i thought of is that the last 2 nights i've fed them mashed egg. Could that cause the colour change? He's still racing around like a loonatic and flirting with everything, terrorizing Mickey.

it might have I know a lot a carrot can give the poops a reddish tint. I would keep him quite for the day (if you can) and take to the vets on monday.

Having kept chooks myself once, Bea.....I do know that colours are an additive to laying pellets for chooks to make the yolks more yellow orange. It is a little known fact that most people dont investigate. Maybe this could be a part of the yellow poos. ??

keep us updated

I think it must be the egg. His poops are back to normal again. It's a pattern, eggs the night before, yellow poops over night and in the morning. I won't give him eggs tonight and see if that makes a difference.

Barnslee my tiel has yellow poops quite often and I find its when she has been munching on her cuttle fish a lot. Dunno if that helps. Mine only have egg once a week but havent noticed yellow poops.

: Hey Bea can I come and live with you your bird eats better than me

Hehe, today i made them a mix of rice and veggies, so far they're turning their beaks up at it though so i may just need you to come and eat it for me! :(Laughing out loud):

Mango, my lovebird, seems to have rust (almost red) poops on the days he eats crumbles and sometimes Comet seems to have yellow poops after an egg day so maybe diet is the culprit. Guess the extra foods affect the digestive systems of each bird differently.
