Brown poop is it normal?

Hi I’ve notice that verde’s poop is brown, is this normal? I heard the color of a birds poop depends on what your feeding and they said it could be brown but I just want to make sure if not then I guess we’re going on another vet trip.

Hi Morgan,

Brown poop can be normal depending on the food. Usually it is caused by food like carrots or sweet potatoes or some other veggies or fruits. Food with natural or artificial dyes can cause this such as pellets with color added or if veggies were used for color. Hopefully it is just something she ate!

Thanks for the update,
