Loose droppings
If a bird´s poop is changed to be more loose and more fluid than normal. Do it help if I only give pellets and water for some days and skip the vegetables. Is probiotic good to use in those cases?
Question:
Answer:
Hi Helena,
Loose droppings that are just excess liquid in the droppings is called polyuria. This is generally not an issue as long as it can be linked to feeding fresh foods. The bird is simply expelling the extra liquid intake and this is natural. There is no need to do anything or provide probiotics in this case. If a bird begins to drink large amounts of water, resulting in polyuria, then you should take the bird to an Avian Vet to determine the reason for drinking so much water.
Thank you for asking Lafeber,
