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. Uric acid has a very low solubility in water, so it emerges as a white paste. This material, as well as the output of the intestines, emerges from the bird's cloaca. The cloaca is a multi-purpose hole for birds: their wastes come out of it, they have sex by putting their cloacas together, and females lay eggs out of it.

Uric acid plus the water waste turns into a white paste, that the bird kicks out of their system as poop. They really don't eat much 'undigestible' food. A bird that survives mostly on fish (i.e. seagulls etc) will have pretty much solid white poop. A bird that has greener poop is getting greens and fiber in its diet, things that aren't being fully digested.
Interestingly, penguins love krill, and if they eat a lot of it, their poop turns pink

So that if you look up in an attempt to " See It Coming ", it will blend in with the clouds and go unnoticed by YOU. That's why birds never move their bowels on gray days .
May their little bowels be blessed ..

BIRD POOP IS WHITE AND BLUE OR WHATEVER COLOR. THE WHITE PART IS THE URINE AND THE OTHER BLUE COLOR IS THE POOP
