Terracotta Droppings

[Jacobasmith]

Every once in a while my birds seem to be producing terracotta coloured dropping?

Is this normal?

What colour should there droppings be?

 

Thankyou

As already suggested most likely to be something they eat. As for normal, I usually look for dark brown to black faecal portion with a white cap (urates from the kidneys). Faniers tell me that a down feather on top indicates the bird is in good condition.

What sort of advice is that, nothing to do with canker.
