what color in poop do i not want to see?

Answer 1

If its still the same shape and form as it was before and coloring is the only difference, chances are VERY HIGH that its only dietary changes that have caused the discoloration.. Keep an eye on what your bird eats and what color it poops after, you will soon feel better about the situation and your bird is loving you I'm sure for the varied diet... GOOD JOB

Answer 2

I've seen every color poop even red from the berry dye

my bird is 24 and never eaten meat
heard of others feeding their birds meat/ chicken etc..
i have never done it and my bird is healthy
he loves a peanut butter though..(know the oil is bad but then he doesn't eat meat and he's 24 so..whatever)
shoots out blue poop from the dye in the skin of the blueberry's

yep.. every color available..

Answer 3

If you fed her fresh fruit, or something different, it is perfectly normal for her poop to be discoloured like that. People food, vegetables fruits, macaroni, anything but chocolate or avocado are very good for your Grey. My two even love hamburgers and hotdogs---anyway don't worry unless it continues for more than a day or so. The change in diet is more than likely the cause..Birdman

Answer 4

I have a Timneh and she eats everything we eat. From time to time, here poop will be a different colors because of what she eats. I've had her for about 6 years now without problems. I don't know what you generally feed your bird, but variety is good.

Answer 5

Everyone here is correct: changes in feces colour are simply a reflection of dietary changes (in this case). I would just like to add that veggies are much denser in vitamins and trace minerals than are fruits. Fruits contain a lot of sugar (calories). It is an established fact that greys are prone to calcium deficiency (and pet birds in general prone to obesity and all the accompanying health concerns). Veggies rich in calcium include broccoli and kale. Beans provide a good source of protein (my grey just adores beans). Greys seem to require alot of selenium (an anti-oxidant): excellent sources of that and b-vitamins are found in whole-wheat pasta (which greys also eat with gusto). Do some research on your own and remember always to provide much larger portions of vegetables and to purchase organic produce whenever possible. This is important because produce from outside the USA and Canada is not subject to the same restrictions on pesticide/fungicide toxicity regulations: developing countries regularly spray their produce with chemicals that while manufactured in the USA (ie by Dow Chemical & others) are NOT authorised for use in US agriculture. These highly toxic products are manufactured ENTIRELY for export. I have included the following enlighteningl guide to chemicals regularly used on NON-ORGANIC produce:

Most Contaminated:? THE DIRTY DOZEN

Consistent with two previous EWG investigations,
fruits topped the list of the consistently most
contaminated fruits and vegetables, with seven of the
12 most contaminated foods. Among the top six were
four fruits, with peaches leading the list, then
apples, nectarines and strawberries. Cherries, pears,
and imported grapes were the other three fruits in the
top 12. Among these seven fruits:
0. Nectarines had the highest percentage of samples
test positive for pesticides (97.3 percent), followed
by peaches (96.6 percent) and apples (92.1 percent).
0. Peaches had the highest likelihood of multiple
pesticides on a single sample — 86.6 percent had two
or more pesticide residues — followed by nectarines
(85.3 percent) and apples (78.9 percent).
0. Sweet bell peppers had the most pesticides detected
on a single sample with eleven pesticides on a single
sample, followed by peaches and apples, where nine
pesticides were found on a single sample.
0. Peaches had the most pesticides overall with some
combination of up to 42 pesticides found on the
samples tested, followed by apples with 37 pesticides
strawberries with 35.

Sweet bell peppers, celery, spinach, lettuce, and
potatoes are the vegetables most likely to expose
consumers to pesticides. Among these five vegetables:

0. Celery had the highest of percentage of samples
test positive for pesticides (94.1 percent), followed
by sweet bell peppers (81.5 percent) and potatoes
(81.0 percent).
0. Celery also had the highest likelihood of multiple
pesticides on a single vegetable (79.8 percent of
samples), followed by sweet bell peppers (62.2
percent) and lettuce (33 percent).
0. Sweet bell peppers was the vegetable with the most
pesticides detected on a single sample (11 found on
one sample), followed by celery and lettuce (both with
nine).
0. Sweet bell peppers were the vegetable with the most
pesticides overall with 64, followed by lettuce at 49
and celery with 30.

Least Contaminated:?CONSISTENTLY CLEAN

The vegetables least likely to have pesticides on them
are onions, sweet corn, asparagus, sweet peas, cabbage
and broccoli.

0. Nearly three-quarters of the broccoli (71.9
percent), sweet pea (77.1 percent), and cabbage (82.1
percent) samples had no detectable pesticides. Among
the other three vegetables on the least-contaminated
list, there were no detectable residues on 90 percent
or more of the samples.
0. Multiple pesticide residues are extremely rare on
any of these least contaminated vegetables. Cabbage
had the highest likelihood, with a 4.8 percent chance
of more than one pesticide when ready to eat. Onions
and corn both had the lowest chance with zero samples
containing more than one pesticide when eaten.
0. The greatest number of pesticides detected on a
single sample of any of these low-pesticide vegetables
was three as compared to 11 found on sweet bell
peppers, the most contaminated crop with the most
residues.
0. Broccoli and asparagus both had the most pesticides
found on a single vegetable crop at up to 19
pesticides but far fewer than the most contaminated
vegetable, sweet bell peppers, on which 64 were found.
The six fruits least likely to have pesticide residues
on them are avocados, pineapples, mangoes, kiwi,
bananas, and papaya.
0. Fewer than 10 percent of pineapple, mango, and
avocado samples had detectable pesticides on them and
fewer than one percent of samples had more than one
pesticide residue.
0. Though 59 percent of bananas had detectable
pesticides, multiple residues are rare with only 2
percent of samples containing more than one residue.
Kiwi and papaya had residues on 15.3 percent and 23.5
percent of samples, respectively, and just 3.4 percent
and 5.0 percent of samples, respectively, had multiple
pesticide residues.
