Teil’ Trouble

Recently my bird has started having brown poo is it a sign of sickness or is it normal

Hi Kyra,

Certain foods can cause color changes in the feces. Foods like sweet potato and carrots can cause the brown coloration. If you have not changed anything in the diet, then it is a good idea to go ahead and take your bird to an avian vet for a check up.

Thank you for asking Lafeber,
