Yellowman Posted February 23, 2015 Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 Sorry if anyones eating dinner....buy does anyone know of any specific topics on here that explain the basics of what the different textures/colour of droppings tells you about a bird. Am i correct in thinking the drier the better as disease tends to carry in moist droppings ?....if so how do you get the droppings drier im currently feeding a basic pigeon mix from Jollyes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OLDYELLOW Posted February 23, 2015 Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 have a look on chevita.com a dropping wont come out dry , secondly the heat in a dropping attracts humidity , but the quicker it dries out the better Droppings will differ from what your feeding Wet dropping aren't good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

walterboswell59 Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 colour of droppings can be green or brown depending what you feed but should never be watery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
just ask me Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 also something else like cocci can raise its ugly head when stress is involved which could turn the droppings green id nearlly bet your cocci levels are high Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
