anthony.1 Posted April 14, 2009 Report Posted April 14, 2009 I am a novice and i was last again this saturday. I have noticed my pigeons have green droppings. What could this be! Please any advice. Anthony.1
hotrod Posted April 14, 2009 Report Posted April 14, 2009 1 do you give them grit? 2 they might have worms 3 they might have cocci probably one of these.
pjc Posted April 14, 2009 Report Posted April 14, 2009 Anthony, it could be caused by stress if they were sent to the race in an unfit state. Before guessing and stuffing them full of medication get the droppings tested.

Roland Posted April 14, 2009 Report Posted April 14, 2009 Shouldn't give a fickled rats *expletive removed* matey. Droppings change with feed, weather, unrest, etc. etc. and are different texture and colour at different times of day and night. Too much is read into droppings I believe. Me! I'd be more interested in whether the eyes sparkled and shone, were alert or they was wearing eye liner. Watch them on the roof tops matey, they they shout out at you if anything is the matter with them! If one is huddled up, fluffed up like etc. tells you more that THAT one has a problem.... possible Toxin or going light etc. THEN in the morning chech THAT birds dropping... as you know where it perches and who's dropping are what!

Anthony can you give us some more details about your set up, feeding, history etc?
