Why is my budgie having white poop, increased urine, and tail bobbing?

Question

Hi. My budgie is having very frequent white poop with an increased amount of urine and every time I go to her cage to try and get a look at her she runs and hides in her coconut. She has been yelling a lot more recently and bobs her tail a lot when talking, I don't know if that's normal. She's about two years old and just finished molting so I don't know if this could be because of that? Thanks! Pet's info: Bird | Parakeet | Female | 0.07 lbs

Thanks for reaching out about Kiwi. The white feces is probably urates, a kidney product, and not feces. The increased urine is also a possible result of some kidney concerns. Tail bobbing is sometimes a clinical sign of difficulty breathing, possible coelomic fluid (ascites) or a respiratory disease. It would probably be a good idea to see an avian veterinarian. Good luck.
