Black stool in my baby bird

I rescused a baby nightangle about 3 weeks ago
Ive been feed it mainy fruits that include watermelons, melon, mangoes wild berries and boiled pulses
Since yesterday his stool and been a dark black almost aa though it has ink
Everything except that has been completly normal
This started yesterday night and is still happening toull today evening
What should i do/what could have caused this

Hi,

A bird like that has a specialized diet and would do best if with a wildlife rehabilitator. Different things can cause black stools. I would recommend taking him to a Vet or wildlife center. A wildlife center will have a Vet they use.

Take care,
