Question

Why is my budgie's poo gray? Pet's info: Bird | Parakeet | Male

Lauren Kennedy, DVM · Accepted Answer

Changes in feces is usually related to diet and/or stress. If this is normal feces for you bird I would not be too concerned. If however this is a sudden change in the appearance of droppings I would recommend making sure he is on a well balanced diet (high quality pellets, fresh fruits and veggies, and little to no seeds) and that he has access to plenty of clean, fresh water. Also try to ensure that nothing in his environment has changed that could cause stress. If everything else is normal and the diet is good you may want to consider taking a stool sample to your veterinarian to be examined. I hope this helps. Best of luck.
