Our lovebird has Reddish-brown droppings. Is there something wrong? Or is it normal? He eats his pellets and has regular apple and other fruits given and his cage is regularly cleaned.

The droppings could be affected by his diet. If he is behaving normally otherwise, it may be normal. If Kiki is lethargic, has his feathers puffed out or has a decreased appetite, it could be cause for concern. You can always submit a sample to your veterinarian to diagnose intestinal parasites or bacterial overgrowth and have Kiki examined.
