Off Its Food

[Guest geordiejen]

hi all i put a squad of youngsters out last night all flew around fine came in fine took a feed.thismorning i found a couple of dark green but solid droppings on the loft floor.went round all the birds and found one to have an empty crop.put it in a pen by itself although it looks fine its not taken any food.birds have been fielding and also drinking from a neighbours gutter which is the old wrought iron type.i was thinking maybe cocci but also some garden enthusiasts around my place so dont know if it may have eaten slug pellets or some sort of pestiside.what does the droppings in a bird with cocci look like?this is the only bird that seems to be effected at the moment and all were out doing what pigeons do last night.picking around the roof and gutters also going into others gardens and a field across from me.

you are feeding them to much,they should not be picking in the gutters, there is only two places they should be, in the air or in the loft

seems to be more interested in eating dry droppings i think its coccidiosis.

[Guest chad3646]

geordiejen is that what happens when they have coccidiosis, they eat dry droppings

[just ask me]

put the bird in a basket for 3 days only giving it water on second day give it a ounce of depuritive and same on 3rd day if still not right get droppings tested or if it gets worse in the mean time get droppings tested

[Guest chad3646]

he has already had all the droppings tested on an earlier outbreak
