Cockatiel's dropping (color)?
Hi everyone,
I wonder whether or not the color of the urate part (white) can be changed to a little yellowish when a bird is healthy. I asked this question coz' I found most of the droppings of my weiro (cockatiel) appeared to be healthy, except for one of those which the urate part seemed to be a little green/yellow. His poops tended to be pretty green since he been eating veggies like corn and peas. He doesnt seem to be having diarrehea coz' his droppings hold clear worm-like shape and he seems to be extremely healthy. Should I stop feeding him with veggies? And is there anything I should be worried about?

Please don't stop feeding your cockatiel fruits and vegetables. This food is your cockatiel's main source of nutrition, especially vitamins A and C, which it needs to maintain good heath. The discoloration is normal and there's nothing to worry about. My parakeets droppings have sometimes been the same way. They are very healthy. However, if you notice that your cockatiel is always pooping bright yellow urates, that could be a cause of concern. That could mean the bird has liver disease or psittacosis. I don't see that being the case with your bird.
