Regarding pigeons it´s inevitable as they use to defecate at any time in every place.
We talk a lot about poo in this blog, because this is a shitty blog, but full of affection shit, as nothing makes me feel happier than seeing healthy poo.
What can different types of pigeon´s poo tell us about?
I´m not expecting to give a microbiology or stool testing class; real diagnosis are made with a microscope, bacterial culture, or at least using the correct dye to observe each parasite.
But, at first glance we can have some signs that shows if we need to go to our vet, change or improve the food habits, or just isolate the bird for a while to avoid infections.
About Droppings:
SOLID
1) In the first strip I talked about my first annoyance with the avian gifts, especially when theyfall over your body.
After a while we get upset, then angry and finally resigned
WHITE
2) When is white means it's only pee, It's unusual and curious. Nothing to be worried about
LIQUID WITH BUBBLES
3) Before incubation period, "Peepoo" invariably makes a bubbly liquid, which is much different of the dangerous diarrhea. In times of egg laying you shouldn't be concerned, instead get excited instead! especially if you are a fancier.
When she broods deposes just a few times at day, that's why she makes industrial amounts of very solid poo. Again there's notthing to be worried about, if it is solid and normal of course.
LIQUID WITH SOLID
4) When you find solids or partially diluted poo in a liquid medium, it means the bird is starving, Also she will be down and you must distinguish regular poo from diarrhea.
DANGER
5) All forms of persistent diarrhea should be examined by a licensed veterinarian. Verify that your veterinarian performs CULTURES before analyzing the excrement WITH MICROSCOPE.
6) LIQUID WITH SEEDS,
Is bad. The bird is not ready yet for seeds, and the seeds could harm the digestive system or crop disorders.
7) BLOOD COLOUR, RED OR PINK
Maybe all the examples shown above, are a pretty harmless and regular.
When the bird is notoriously DOWN and shows any type of red liquid or blood in the poo, you must go mediately to the vet with no hesitation.
