Hello! My female canary is 1.5 years old and today I noticed that her droppings were orange. She ate a small piece of apple, but I don't know if that has anything to do with it.

Fresh fruits and veggies can sometimes change stool color, however other issues such as underlying illness or even organ dysfunction can also change the color. I would remove any extras for a few days to see if Minnie's stool returns to normal. If it doesn't, or you see signs of illness, a vet visit to rule out any issues is best.
