This could be a symptom of difficulty breathing. Watch him for excessive tail bobbing while breathing. This may indicate a developing respiratory infection, but you would need to have Zazu examined b your veterinarian or an experienced avian vet for confirmation. The perching low may be another symptom of illness or injury. Most birds have some green in the droppings along with a white solid and clear liquid. If Zazu's droppings are very loose, or very hard, this is more indication of potential illness. Submit a sample of the droppings to diagnose intestinal parasites or bacterial/fungal overgrowth.
