Baby cockatiel dropping

does hand feeding cause watery droppings?

Hi,

A handfeeding chick will definitely have a loose stool. But there are different types of loose stool – in some cases it can be diarrhea and sometimes it is just excess liquid in the diet. If you have any concerns about the bird’s health, you should take the bird to an Avian Vet.

Thank you for asking Lafeber,
