Why are my pigeon's droppings yellow and watery? Is it sick?

My juvenile pigeon is not eating, neither drinking nor moving. Droppings are quite green. What could be the reason?

Without an exam it would be hard to tell. Changes in stool color can indicate a number of things including parasites, infections, or even organ dysfunction such as liver disease (certain illnesses such as Chlamydiosis can cause this). If your bird is not eating or drinking anything it is best to seek out veterinary care ASAP. Keeping it warm and separated from the flock to avoid the spread of any illnesses may help, as well as continuing to offer food and water until you can see your vet.

my pigeon laid an egg a week ago. now she is sitting on the egg. four days ago i started to give her calcium supplement( it was yellow in colour) -a tonic which has to be mixed with drinking water. after two days i have been noticing that her poop

Thanks for reaching out about your bird. Yellow droppings could be a result of the pigment in the calcium supplement, but is also a common clinical sign of possible liver disease. Stop giving the calcium supplement for a few days to see if the urine returns to a normal color. Good luck.

My parakeet’s droppings are yellow. I have two other parakeets and I was going to move all three in together, but I’m worried that he might be sick and spread it to the others. What does the yellow droppings mean and is it contagious?

Yellow droppings can be caused by a variety of things, so it is hard to tell. if you recently changed his diet, the droppings may have changed color while he adjusts. Feeding extras such as too many treats, fruits, or veggies may also cause the droppings to change color, and removing these extras for a few days may return the droppings to normal. Some issues such as parasites or infection may also cause a color change in droppings, so if you haven't changed diet, added treats, or are seeing other signs of illness, this could be the case. It is a good idea to keep him separated until the stool color returns to normal to prevent spread of anything to your other birds. If the stool doesn't normalize after a few days of removing all extras, or you see other signs of illness, scheduling a vet exam in person is best to rule out issues such as parasites or underlying illness before introducing him to your flock.

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

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.

I gave my pigeon boiled and chopped egg to eat. She ate it. After few hours i saw her pooping yellow poops. ( White and Green poop with yellowish water ). What happened? Please tell me.

Thanks for reaching out about your bird. There are yellow pigments in the yolk that can be eliminated in the kidneys that produce the yellow urine/urates. Try discontinuing the egg to see if this returns the urine to normal color. If not, a veterinary visit is recommended to assess and check for liver disease (also a cause of yellow urine). Good luck.

Hello so my birds dropping are in mustard yellow colour and normally they arent like that. All I ded him today was peas and chana. All the whole morning he has been acting but now in the afternoon his energy seems pretty low. Please tell me what I sh

Thanks for reaching out about Salt. If lethargic, a veterinary visit is necessary, and the sooner the better. Providing heat support in the 809-85 F can help but is not a treatment. Yellow feces could be pigments from the food but also intestinal problems such as parasites, infections, increase bile (liver problem) and more. Good luck.

Hi, I recently just adopted a pigeon. I understand that stress affects their poop so I was believing it was okay that she had runny poop for the first few days and it still had a form just slightly watered down. Then it started getting a better form

Thanks for reaching out about Pearl. The components of the droppings (feces, urates, urine) can vary during the day, due to diet, or other possibilities. The explained example sound like increased urine and less urates. This could be due to increased water consumption but possibly also due to renal disease. Some intestinal parasites can also modify how the intestines absorb water through the intestinal tract. If the problem persists, an visit to an avian veterinarian is recommended.

My house sparrow looks sick. His droppings are loose yellow fluid. He is inactive with ruffled feathers n head tucked under his wing. I just got it a couple of days back. He seems to be feeding on rice. I started feeding him millets. So sad to watch

I'm sorry Pocoyo is ill. If it is possible he may nee to see a veterinarian. If not possible, i would quarentine him away from other birds. Keep in a warm, draft free area and try to encourage eating. Here's a bit more info on nursing care. https://vcahospitals.com/know-your-pet/sick-pet-birds-nursing-care Best of luck.

My pigeon doesn't drink water. She is standing all the time. From yesterday morning she has been standing. Her poop is white in colour. What happened? Please tell me.

Thanks for reaching out. White feces could possibly be increased urates, which could be a result of dehydration or kidney problems. A veterinary visit is recommended to assess and provide a diagnostic/treatment plan. Try wetting vegetables or pellets in an attempt to increase water intake. You can offer water via a syringe if possible. Good luck.

My cockatiel seems okay but his droppings are brown and yellow, is there something wrong?

That usually could be dependent to the diet but these signs could be compatible with an inflammation infection of the gastrointestinal system and surrounding organs (like pancreas and liver) as well. to differentiate the two a clinical examination at your local veterinarian is immediately essential. Antibiotics may be needed. Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.
