My bird's poop is yellow. Is it diet-related or a health issue?

Question

Hi, my birds faeces and urine are a yellow colour, she's pooped twice now and its been yellow but the first time it had tiny black spots but the second time it was just yellow. I fed her some rice this morning and it had yellow food coloring so I'm not sure if it's that or not. Pet's info: Bird | Cockatiel | Female

Thanks for reaching out about Jordan and including photos. Pigments from the food can definately be incorporated into the urine or feces. Try removing the food with yellow pigment from the diet for 24 hour and monitor feces/urine color. Liver disease can sometimes result in yellow or green coloration in the urine. If Jordan appears sick or lethargic, a veterinary visit is recommended. Good luck.
