Guest IB Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 If you are feeding a mixture with lots of small stuff and few beans or peas, I think you can expect the droppings to be looser. The other thing that could be causing it is linseed. As always if you are 'not happy' about the bird, put in in a box on its own for a couple of days, with either cider vinegar or garlic in its drinking water. To me there's not much wrong there, the first pic the droppings are covered in dropped feathers - sick birds don't moult, and in the second pic the bird looks quite sharp. Also agree, droppings sample for analysis just to make sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
