Do birds pee?

Question

Do birds pee as well as poo??

Answer 1

Not really. Birds have only one orifice for evacuation - the cloaca. So both liquid and solid waste are evacuated at the same time.

Answer 2

Yep, birds pee. Because they have a faster metabolism than us they secrete it in a white paste rather than a liquid, which means they actually lose less water when they pee, thus helping to conserve body water reserves. They excrete it via the same orifice as the poo. If a bird hasn't had a lot to eat them it will excrete mainly the white pee, but if it has fed recently then this will be accompanied by the dark brown or black poo. Oh, and if a bird has blue in its droppings, its probably ingested rat or mouse poison, as the colouring passes through the gut unchanged!

Answer 3

Last I remember they pee and poo in the same motion all at one time. for the person who thinks the birds leave that horrible uring smell that might be males cats leaving their mark in your garden

Answer 4

Answer 5

our parrot poos and acts differents when he pees. he pees a lot surprising really to say he throws more of the water than he drinks. he sort of bends in to pee the look on his face after he's done it has me in stitches everytime

Answer 6

I do believe that bird pee & poo is kinda mixed together hence the green & white mess you get when a bird poos on you or on your car.....I dont think they pee seperatly I think its a combo pack

Answer 7

It's like asking do birds fly? Yes they do pee. I know because I have two pigeons that just love visiting and I can always tell when they have been by the smell of urine they leave behind in my garden. It is so pungent and strong it makes my eyes water.

Answer 8

Noooo... unlike mammals, birds don't urinate. Their kidneys extract nitrogenous wastes from the bloodstream, but instead of excreting it as urea dissolved in urine as we do, they excrete it in the form of uric acid. It's mixed in the poo, that's why their poo emerges as a white paste.

Answer 9

sure they do! They poo and pee at the same time, together.

Answer 10

No.Unlike mammals, which excrete waste fluid as urine and solid waste as feces, birds mix both liquid waste and solid waste into the white paste you see as bird droppings. The only exception is the ostrich, which has a urinary bladder.
