Diarrhea can be caused by a wide number of things, so finding the underlying cause is important to treating it. While changing the diet may help, other issues such as parasites, illness, infection, etc, should be ruled out as well. As for diet, removing any extra treats such as fruits and veggies can help firm up stool if too many are being given (the higher water content can cause loose stool.) Feeding a diet specific to pigeons, either a commercial food or a variety of seeds and insects, can help ensure proper nutrition. Treating for any parasites and making sure to keep the cage clean may also help. If you have a bird that is very ill, separating him from any other birds you own can also help if there is a spreadable illness causing symptoms. If at home care doesn't help, then you will need to try and find a clinic in your area so your bird can be treated and any medication such as an antibiotic given to help Sheephony feel better.
